| Summary/Abstract |
A U.S. PRESIDENTIAL candidate publicly claimed that Mexico is a land of criminals, drug traffickers and rapists; rather than being forced to withdraw, he was rewarded with his party’s nomination. Is it any wonder that for generations, Mexican policymakers saw fit to define themselves in opposition to Washington? After the Mexican-American War, when the latter dispossessed the former of its vast lands north of the Rio Grande, bilateral relations historically were cool and formalistic, overlain by Mexico’s skepticism of the United States and an acute sense of sovereignty. Family and economic ties kept the relationship vibrant at local and regional levels, but the state of the official relationship was well captured by former president Porfirio Díaz, who reportedly lamented, “Poor Mexico [is] so far from God [and] so close to the United States.”

| Summary/Abstract |
Job creation in the formal economy is arguably
Latin America's most pressing development
need, particularly during troubled economic
times. For this, healthy trade and investment
flows are essential. And yet, the existing model of
hemispheric trade expansion has reached a point
of diminishing returns. This is why a new path
forward must be found.
