Mexico’s Foreign Policy under Salinas: The Search for Friends in the First World (original) (raw)

Abstract

I. INTRODUCTION After years in the wings, Mexico is poised for the spotlight. The club of rich nations hails it as the perfect student of economics. What better candidate for stardom than this country of 85 million people, which went bust so publicly just over ten years ago and which has since embarked on dramatic and successful economic reforms? .Mr. Salinas has a claim to be hailed as one the great men of the 20th century (The Economist 1993).
