On June 2nd, Mexico will go to the polls to elect a new head of state. With the two presumptive candidates being female, the future president will for the first time be a woman, a remarkable step for our southern border cousin of 130 million people which has often been marked by its “macho” culture.

The relationship with Mexico is one of, if not the most important, relationships we have. How might it be affected? What is the likelihood that the Mexican market might become more open and less subject to the whims of whomever is in power?

Joining Host Jim Falk are:
Duncan Wood, VP Strategy, New Initiatives, Wilson Center Mexico Institute, and
Xavier Vidal-Medina, Center for Mexican-American Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Also at play are escalating cartel warfare, the political legacy of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and the long, often tumultuous, relationship with the United States.

Join us for a rousing discussion on the future of Mexican politics and how changes may impact our relationship.
