LATIN
AMERICAN REGIONAL REPORT:
MEXICO & NAFTA - NOW AVAILABLE |
| In this report we
look at politicians north and south of the US border. In our Nafta Report
we take a look at what policies John Kerry, the frontrunner for the Democratic
Party presidential nomination, may propound for US-Mexican relations. In
Mexico, we look at Marta Sahagún, the wife of President Vicente Fox,
who seems to want to run for the Presidency in 2006. She recently came under
sustained criticism over her charity Vamos México. Our Mexico Report also takes a look at the state of the economy and analyses the impressive strength of the government's fiscal position. We also report on church-state relations; crime and rural unrest, and the state of play in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections. Our Nafta Report also looks at the growing role of remittances in the Mexican economy and the swings and roundabouts of agricultural trade between Mexico and the US. An annual subscription to Latin American Regional Report: Mexico & Nafta (12 issues) is priced at US$225 (Discounted rates available to academics/NGOs).
