Reinventing Mexico
Event
In his first year in office, President Enrique Peña Nieto has unleashed a staggering series of reforms -- on education, labor relations, energy and competition policy -- aimed at modernizing a nation that his once sclerotic party, the notorious Party of the Institutional Revolution (PRI), held back for decades. Meanwhile, the nation's war on the drug cartels and the economic transformation encouraged by NAFTA continue unabated. Whether the Peña Nieto project succeeds or not is still an open question, one with enormous repercussions for the United States and the region's global competitiveness.
Please join Shannon O'Neil, author of Two Nations Indivisible: Mexico, the United States and the Road Ahead and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations; Alfredo Corchado, author of Midnight in Mexico and the Mexico City bureau chief for the Dallas Morning News, and Andrés Martinez, Vice-President and Editorial Director at New America, to assess Mexico's critical moment.
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
