CASTILLO ALEMAN, Gloria del  e  QUINTANA NEDELCU, Danay. Current reforms in Cuba: a public policy study. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2016, vol.78, n.1, pp.7-32. ISSN 2594-0651.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the reform process in Cuba, begun in 2009, from a perspective called policy studies, which focuses on the political dimension of public policies and policy change. It is assumed that policies are the expression of a political-institutional framework: politics as a process that shapes policies. The argument is that reforms are accompanied by a permanent tension between changes at the policy level, without disrupting the logic of politics that characterizes the decision-making level of the spheres of power.

Palavras-chave : Cuba; policy studies; political change; policy change; policy context.
