Mexico's Nearshoring Challenges Amidst Geopolitical Shifts
Mexico faces nearshoring risks due to insufficient border infrastructure and organized crime. Geopolitical shifts demand a holistic approach, integrating economic policies for sustainable development.
In the ever-evolving landscape of international relations, Mexico stands at a critical juncture, grappling with the implications of the lack of border infrastructure, the surge of organized crime, and the global geopolitical transformations that threaten the economic promise of nearshoring. The recent International Seminar North America in the New World Order: Deglobalization and Geopolitical Conflicts, hosted by UNAM, shed light on the intricate web of challenges and opportunities facing the nation.
Graciela Martínez-Zalce Sánchez, Director of the Center for Research on North America (CISAN), emphasized the urgency of examining the current world situation, marked by a dynamic of deglobalization driven by geopolitical conflicts. The trade war between the United States and China, along with economic sanctions against Russia, has triggered a reconfiguration of economic and political relations globally, casting shadows over Mexico's prospects.
