It delves into core concepts of political theory such as the State, representative and participatory democracy, electoral and party systems. It analyzes challenges such as ideological polarization, demands for greater inclusion and pluralism, and the rise of left-wing governments. A section is dedicated to the study of the Cuban political system, its historical evolution since the revolutionary triumph, its electoral particularities and the tensions generated by the economic blockade imposed by the U.S. The work covers guiding principles, geopolitical strategies and the role of multilateralism among States.
