On the surface, this constitution is the fourth revision of the 1976 Constitution. However, due to the wide scope of the revision and the significant content involved, it is essentially a brand new constitution.The new constitution not only reflects major changes in Cuba’s political,economic, social and diplomatic fields over the past 40 years, but also marks the Cuban Communist government’s thinking and planning on the sustainable development of Cuban socialism in the 21 st century so as to ensure that it is irreversible and will not radically change. This revision of the Constitution is the most significant political reform since the victory of the Cuban Revolution in1959 and will lead to a major and far-reaching impact on Cuba’s future development in the fields of politics, economy, society and diplomacy.展开更多
