| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 拉丁美洲研究所 === 82 === On August 16, 1925, the founding congress of the Cuban
Communist Party had been convened in the "Vedado" section
of Havana, and then it joined in the "Communist
International" (Comintern) in 1928. On September 23, 1938,
the Communists gained the legalization by proffering
their cooperation to Fulgencio Batista to win the
presidency in 1940. When the Comintern desintegrated in
1943, the Communists abandoned the class struggle and began
to aadopt the opportunism. In 1952, Fulgencio Batista
launched a military coup. In recent years, the collapse of
socialism in the Soviet Union and East European has
afflicted Cuba. Consequently, Cuba faced all the general crises
confronted by socialist regimes-a crisis of ideology, a
crisis of the economy, a crisis of institution and a
crisis of society. Since the "Fourth Party Congress" in
October 1991, Fidel Castro has undertaken political and
economic reforms, such as the constitutional reform in July
1992; the direct elections of municipal, provincial delegates
in December 1992, and National Assembly deputies in February
1993; the "dollarization" measure in August 1993 and the
legalization of self-employment in a number o f trades in
September 1993. However, Cuba has chosen to build
socialism with its own characteristics-the imitation of
China''s model or Vietnam''s model. This thesis will analyze
the process of development of the old "Communist Party"
before the Cuban Revolution, from viewpoints of the
gradual policies of the party, the interrelationship
between the Communists and the rulers or the other parties,
and the the political development of Cuba, and to make a
objective prospect toward the political and economic
reforms of Castro''s regime.
