This paper takes stock of the economic reforms underway in Cuba and what it will take to reintegrate the country into the global economic system. The paper's authors further examine what Cuba can learn from Vietnam's and Albania's reintegration experiences, and argue that the US should abandon its objections to Cuba joining international financial institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. After all, if Havana could join these organizations it could receive the assistance it needs to expand and reform its economy more effectively.
