Introducción al número especial de Estudios Internacionales, dedicado al análisis de la inserción internacional de Cuba

The Institute of International Studies of the University of Chile dedicates a joint number of its Journal of International Studies to the analysis of the Cuban situation, from the perspective of its international insertion and the characteristics of its external situation. The works collected in this magazine correspond to presentations in the framework of the seminar "Cuba in the international system, normalization and reintegration". These intend to show some key concepts to understand this reality; among them is the process of normalization of its foreign relations, imprecise and subject to variables such as the close and unavoidable link with the internal and foreign policy of the United States, as well as the conditions that imposes the Cuban export structure.
