This book examines the political and developmental implications of
the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the
Third World. Whereas the concept of the "digital divide" tends to
focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work
stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the
pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors
and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World
countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's "show-case
democracy" Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical
country studies.

The economic crisis in the wake of the COVID pandemic is putting
Cuba's socialism to a severe test. The government in Havana has
added a fundamental reform of the economy, institutional structure
and social policies to the agenda. This volume brings together
contributions from leading international experts as well as from
the island itself, analysing the economic, political and social
challenges Cuba is facing today.
