The United States and Mexico: Towards a Strategic Partnership

Este reporte del Woodrow Wilson Center está basado en la premisa de que ambos países se pueden beneficiar si piensan más estratégicamente sus relaciones bilaterales.

There is no lack of attention on either side of the border towards the other country. In fact, an endless number of federal, state, and local agencies in each country have policies that deal with the other either directly or indirectly, and politicians in both countries regularly address issues on the bilateral agenda. What are frequently lacking are the synergies among different approaches taken by government agencies to deal with the same issue. !is report, therefore, suggests that a little bit of coordination and consultation between policymakers in the two countries and among different agencies can go a long way towards improving the ways we manage joint challenges—from dealing with organized crime to resolving trade disputes to developing orderly systems for migration to managing natural resources at the border.
