Ben Davis September 3, What type of government does Cuba have? What type of government did Cuba have before the Cuban Revolution? Was Cuba a rich country? Can Cuban citizens travel to USA? How was Cuba established? Businesses from other countries have poured money into Cuban agriculture, infrastructure, the sugar trade, nickel mining, and of course, tourism. Though the economy isn't great, it is slowly beginning to improve. Despite this, poverty is still a significant issue within the country , so you will likely see examples of it during your trip.
The Soviets had been implementing a Marxist-Leninist state since , and in the s and s they enjoyed a period of scientific and technological successes, as well as relaxed censorship.
These two countries would continue to support each other throughout the 20th century: the Soviet Union negotiated with the United States to prevent it from invading Cuba during the Missile Crisis, and Cuba served as a strong Cold War ally for the Soviets. The Soviet Union began to crumble when General Secretary Gorbachev began to restructure the economy, opening it up for private initiatives.
This signalled death knell for the long partnership. The Soviet Union fell in , and Cuba had to suddenly do without its main trading partner. Cuba plummeted into an economic depression known as the Special Period, in which people were forced to go without gasoline and electricity. Parts of the country even suffered from famine when the government failed to ensure a proper harvest.
It also pushed Cuba to expand its tourism. There is no advertising, except billboards praising communism, and ad campaigns for politicians. This consists of members, each elected from a different municipality every five years. The purpose of the committee is to sanction the decisions of the Executive power. The Cuban government has begun to make strides in improving certain elements of the ecosystem, including their much-publicized organic farming and new permaculture system.
There are now three offshore oil fields along the Cuban coastline, and the government has announced that its reserves hold about 20 billion barrels. This would give Cuba one of the top 20 oil reserves worldwide. Cuba now leases blocks of the ocean floor to other countries for oil exploration, including Russia, Norway, and Vietnam. Environmentalists — and concerned citizens living in Cuba and Florida — fear that Cuba is unprepared for an oil spill, and that all the drilling will harm the delicate ocean ecosystem.
But for now, oil remains a viable economic resource for Cuba. Foreign investment in Cuban tourism may be about to see its biggest boom yet. The Communist Party of Cuba is the leading force both at the society level and in the state. The government has three branches as stipulated by the Constitution of Cuba: The judiciary, executive, and legislature.
Even so, the official party controls almost every sector in Cuba including the media. As such, many bodies around the world label Cuba as a Soviet democratic country.
Regarding elections, only people not accused of any criminal offenses or not physically challenged are legible for voting. Cubans living abroad have no electoral right.
However, suffrage is affordable for people who have lived on the island for two years. The Cuban executive branch constitutes of two bodies. The Council of Ministers, which is the Cabinet, is the highest ranked administration body in the country forming the national government. The Council of Ministers officiates and directs foreign policies exercised by the country. The economy of Cuba is a largely planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises.
The government of Cuba owns and operates most industries and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Under the constitution, Cuba had a presidential system based on that of the United States.
