Mexico is facing a deep legitimacy crisis, before which critical voices are emerging. Trump's arrival across the border should prompt awareness of the urgent need to face the necessary changes in the country, which will be holding presidential elections in 2018, amid great uncertainty. The series Mexico at the Crossroads gives a voice to these critical visions.
The feasibility of U.S.-Mexico cooperation is under challenge. President Trump’s approach to the bilateral relation on matters of security, migration, and trade has been driven by unilateral, aggressive, and exclusionary proposals. Although most of these proposals have yet to translate into concrete policies, they have already proven to be detrimental for the trust and potential cooperation between the two countries.
