Background:
Mexico has witnessed numerous watershed events and processes in its political life during the last quarter of a century. These include key electoral reforms, large and sustained social movements, the rise of major political parties and multi-party politics, and the end of seven decades of one-party rule in 2000 with the election of President Vicente Fox. In additon, the country has undergone the intensification of both internal and international migration and profound economic transformations, including the beginning of free trade in the 1980s and its consolidation in the 1990s with the North American Free Trade Agreement. Please join us for what promises to be a lively discussion of the past and future of the democratization process in Mexico. The roundtable discussion includes participants from many sides of the process, including politicians and academics who represent views from left, right and center.
