Mexico Urged to Confront US Indifference on Regional Integration Amid Shifting Global Order
Academics warn Mexico must shed illusions and forge new strategy as Washington prioritizes domestic concerns and a potential return to ‘neo-imperialism’ looms.
Mexico must fundamentally reassess its approach to North American relations, starting from the stark reality that regional integration is not a priority for the United States, according to leading Mexican academics. This necessitates a clear-eyed strategy acknowledging a resurgence of US imperial tendencies and a dramatically altered global landscape marked by Sino-Russian alignment and fraying transatlantic ties.
"North American integration is not a priority for the US; Mexico's analysis, negotiation, and strategy on the issue must begin there," stated Héctor Arturo Oropeza García, a professor at the prestigious Institute of Legal Research (IIJ) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
