Please answer the following questions in your essay:
1. How would you characterize your country’s (Cuba) respond to globalization? (Chapter 5, section 5.6)

4. What has been the outcome of globalization and neoliberalism (or the country’s chosen alternative) in your country? Who have been the primary winners and/or losers of these policies?
The primary concepts to be addressed in this paper are: political economy, with emphasis on market systems, as well as globalization. These concepts are discussed primarily in Chapter 5, although earlier readings may also be helpful.
You must also use at least three academic, governmental, and/or media sources.
▪ Academic journals, major national or international newspapers, major online news organizations, databases, etc.
Formatting: This essay should be 3 pages, typed, double-spaced, in a standard 12 point font. Cite your sources according to the style you know best (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) ▪ You must directly cite sources in text as appropriate as well as in a works cited/bibliography.
