Seizing The "Organic" Moment: Cuba's Agricultural Crossroads And Certified Organic Export Potential, Wesley J. Hevia, Michael T. Olexa, Thomas T. Ankersen, William A. Messina Jr. Jan 2026

Seizing The "Organic" Moment: Cuba's Agricultural Crossroads And Certified Organic Export Potential, Wesley J. Hevia, Michael T. Olexa, Thomas T. Ankersen, William A. Messina Jr.

Florida Journal of International Law

Cuba has been referred to as "the world's first national experiment in sustainable agriculture." Given the critical shortages in chemical inputs to Cuba's agricultural sector following the loss of Soviet economic support and subsidization, this may well be a fitting description. Cuba's use of the term "organic" to describe some of its agricultural production can be misleading. Not all of Cuba's "organic" products would satisfy the organic certification requirements for most developed countries. That being said, Cuba is shipping certified organic fresh citrus and citrus juices into EU markets. With proper investments and implementation of the appropriate procedures and protocols, …


Exploring Cuba's New Role In The World Economy: Paths And Perils, Wentong Zheng Jan 2026

Exploring Cuba's New Role In The World Economy: Paths And Perils, Wentong Zheng

Florida Journal of International Law

With the normalization of relations with the United States and other countries, Cuba is ushering in a new era with unprecedented opportunities in a globalized world. Participating in the world economy, however, is a risky proposition. It requires policymakers to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each development path and choose the one that best suits Cuba. It also requires policymakers to be prepared for the perils, both economic and legal, that may arise from Cuba's participation in the world economy. This Article explores Cuba's new role in the world economy and the perils that accompany this new role. …


The Meaning Of "Equal": Evolution Of Racial Equality In The United States, Jon L. Mills Jan 2026

The Meaning Of "Equal": Evolution Of Racial Equality In The United States, Jon L. Mills

Florida Journal of International Law

The focus of this paper is the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case, Brown vs. Board of Education, the spark that reignited the long-time quest for racial equality and that challenged the United States to live up to its constitutionally-expressed principles. The case—and the judges and lawyers who made it happen—changed society and the law. For us, the case provides the quintessential example of how the rule of law can work in the United States to the benefit of the people. After all, the courts have the final word on the meaning of the Constitution.

Florida Journal of International Law

This study analyzes the current conditions (with a brief review of macroeconomic trends since 1990) in Cuba's external sector and identifies key problems that pose major challenges for the future.

State Capitalism In Cuba: The Lessons Of The Literature On State Owned Enterprises And Market Liberalization, D. Daniel Sokol Jan 2026

State Capitalism In Cuba: The Lessons Of The Literature On State Owned Enterprises And Market Liberalization, D. Daniel Sokol

Florida Journal of International Law

This Article outlines core concerns for Cuba in its market liberalization process. First, from the agency cost perspective, it explores the limitations of state owned enterprises (SOEs) versus private (publicly traded) firms. Then, it examines the empirical literature on SOEs and SOE reforms and privatizations. Next, the Article offers a number of possible policies going forward that will allow Cuba to reform its state capitalism to benefit Cuba's consumers. Such reforms include SOE corporatization, SOE privatization, and the introduction of a competition policy system to Cuba (as effective corporate governance and competition may be substitutes for each other).


Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Civil Code, And The Problem Of Transculturation, Pedro A. Malavet Jan 2026

Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Civil Code, And The Problem Of Transculturation, Pedro A. Malavet

Florida Journal of International Law

In this paper, I have two purposes. First, I offer a simple warning of the dangers posed by cultural imperialism in the legal exchanges that we are beginning. Second, and more positively, I invite my Cuban colleagues to educate me about what happened to the Civil Code in Cuba in the period between 1898 and 1959. The positive aspect should contribute to a comparative study of law in which we can understand the respective Cuban and U.S. legal cultures, using the mixed experience of Puerto Rico with Spanish civil law and the U.S. common law as part of the process …

General Overview Of Cuban Family Law Legislation, Ana María Álvarez-Tabío Albo Jan 2026

General Overview Of Cuban Family Law Legislation, Ana María Álvarez-Tabío Albo

Florida Journal of International Law

This Essay will take four routes that converge at multiple points. First, we will review the social context prevailing when the Family Code (Código de Familia) was promulgated on March 8, 1975, coinciding with International Women's Day. Afterwards, we will briefly refer to other pieces of legislation that complete the universe of judicial ordinances protecting the family. Next, we will dedicate more time to examining the fundamental characteristics of the principal institutions of Cuban Family Law. Finally, we will see the challenges that must be confronted in the prevailing reality in the Cuban family and society.
