| Publisher Description: El relato de las relaciones entre Cuba y Venezuela en los ltimos 16 a os narra el proceso de una colonizaci n ins lita e inusual, nunca antes vista en la historia. Es una historia singular: la de una invasi n consentida. La idea del libro es contar c mo Cuba, la isla con la econom a m s precaria del continente americano, ha logrado obtener una influencia determinante en el pa s con las mayores reservas de petr leo del mundo. La nomenclatura cubana no s lo ha obtenido de Venezuela un subsidio equivalente a la ayuda sovi tica sino que, tambi n, ha penetrado profundamente sus estructuras de poder al punto de tener asesores en la Presidencia y, pr cticamente, en toda la administraci n p blica. Para ello, los hermanos Fidel y Ra l Castro no han tenido que imponerse ni disparar un tiro. Lo peculiar aqu es c mo el gobierno venezolano se ha sometido voluntariamente a su r gimen, de una manera que probablemente no se haya visto nunca en la geopol tica mundial. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The relationship between Cuba and Venezuela in the last 16 years narrates the process of an unusual and uncommon type of colonization, one never before seen in history. It is a unique story, one of consensual invasion. The purpose of this book is to convey how Cuba, an island with the most precarious economy in the Americas, has managed to have and keep a significant influence over the country with the largest oil reserves in the world. Cuban leaders have not only obtained from Venezuela a subsidy equivalent to its previous Soviet aid but they have also deeply penetrated its structures of power to the point of having advisors in the Presidency and, practically, throughout all public administrations. Due to this, Fidel and Raul Castro have not had to forcefully impose themselves at all. The peculiar thing here is how the Venezuelan government has voluntarily submitted to the Cuban regime, in a way that has never been seen before in world geopolitics. |
