The transformation process in Cuba is not a current process, as it covers more than ten years. The
most visible changes are in economic matters, with the introduction of new economic actors and
the decentralization of the significant decisions. At the same time, critical political changes materialized
with the approval of a new Constitution in 2019.
From the methodological, conceptual, and regulatory point of view, the analysis, debate, and approval
of documents of strategic and legislative scope with the broad participation of various sectors
of society and the general population, have been the expression of the interest of Cuban society to
raise its levels of governance, participation, and inclusion, as well as maintaining the process of
changes initiated. These strategic documents include the Economic Policy Guidelines and Social
of the Party and the Revolution; the Conceptualization of the Cuban Economic and Social Model of
Socialist Development; The Bases of the Economic and Social Development Plan until 2030: Vision
of the Nation, Strategic Axes and Sectors and the Constitution of the Republic of Cuba.
This work aims to analyze some of the main changes in Cuba's political, economic, and social life
and the significant impact of the new Constitution approved in 2019.
