Objective/context: The article analyzes the connection between the internal conditions of Cuba and the advancement of its foreign policy, in the context of a transition of power. Methodology: The research is exploratory, through the inductive method, based on a content analysis, applying a grammar-based analysis unit to an intentional sample composed of speeches, institutional and press documents. Conclusions: The analysis evidences a complex internal situation, which forces the government to weigh changes and, in turn, imposes a pragmatic logic on foreign policy to support the system. The pace of transformations in the model will have to accelerate, before the political, social and economic reforms work. Originality: The scientific literature on Cuba that analyzes the impact of domestic policy on its foreign policy is very scarce. This research contributes in this regard and sheds light on a national context that assimilates the transformations and immobilities of power.
