PRefACe he 14th Inter-American Meeting, at the Ministerial Level, on Health and Agri- culture (RIMSA 14) took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico in Mexico City, on 21 and 22 April 2005, at a time when the Pan Ameri- Tcan Health Organization was embarking upon a period of institutional transforma- tion aimed at enabling it to respond better to the needs of countries and utilize new modalities of technical cooperation . The overarching theme of RIMSA 14 was “Agriculture and Health: Synergy for Local Development .” The aim in selecting that theme was to promote stronger intersectoral partnerships in order to meet, through local development, the Millennium Development Goals related to the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger . An intersectoral approach to health and agriculture is crucial in order to understand and to take action to prevent and control zoonotic diseases that pose a poten- tial threat to the public health and economy of countries — in particular emerging diseases such as avian influenza, which was one of the topics discussed during the meeting . In the past decade, 75% of the new diseases that have affected human beings have been caused by pathogens originating in animals or animal products . Accordingly, the agenda for the meeting included topics related to trade in food and the International Zoosanitary Code . In addition to the new threats, the Region is faced with an unfinished agenda of neglected zoonotic diseases that affect mainly vulnerable and underserved populations . This situation constitutes a challenge for the achievement of the Millen- nium Development Goals, although efforts in that regard may well receive a boost from the renewed commitment to the Alma-Ata Declaration on primary health care, another topic discussed at the meeting . During the meeting, the delegates also received the recommendations of the 4th Meeting of the Pan American Commission for Food Safety (COPAIA 4) and the 10th Meeting of the Hemispheric Committee for the Eradication of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (COHEFA 10) . RIMSA 14 was marked by very positive discussions and debates in regard to veterinary public health . The meeting adopted eight resolu- tions . Remarkable progress has been achieved on issues relating to foot-and-mouth disease, canine-transmitted rabies, and food safety, but much remains to be done in order to control other zoonoses and carry out new mandates . The strengthening of intersectoral work is already a reality in the Americas, however . Today, we have new institutional mechanisms, such as the Inter-American Group for the Eradication of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (GIEFA), which involves both the private and the public sectors, and provides support for the eradication of foot-and-mouth disease in the Americas . Another mechanism is COPAIA, which also brings together representa- tives of both the public and the private sectors in an effort to improve food safety through an integrated food-chain approach . 6 14TH INTER-AMERICAN MEETING, AT THE MINISTERIAL LEVEL, ON HEALTH AND AGRICULTURE (RIMSA 14) I should like to express my deep gratitude to His Excellency Vicente Fox, Presi- dent of Mexico, for the support of his Government and for his personal participa- tion in the meeting . I also want to thank Mexican Government ministers Dr . Luis Ernesto Derbez, Minister of Foreign Affairs; Dr . Julio Frenk, Secretary of Health; and Dr . Javier Usabiaga, Minister of Agriculture . I am grateful, as well, to the President of RIMSA 13, Dr . Jaime Alfonso Quiroga, Minister of Agriculture of Chile, and to the RIMSA 14 delegates for the support provided for this important forum . It is my pleasure to present this publication, which continues the series of RIMSA reports that PAHO has been publishing for 37 years . Mirta Roses Periago, Director Pan American Health Organization x OPENING SESSION ADDReSS bY HIS eXCelleNCY VICeNTe foX QUesada, PReSIDeNT of MeXICo n 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights established very clearly that “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well- being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical Icare, and necessary social services .” Indeed, health is one of the fundamental rights of human beings . Health for All is not just a goal, but an obligation that we have to our fellow human beings — an obliga- tion that we can only fulfill with the necessary urgency through the broadest possible union of our efforts, through true team work, with due coordination . I am therefore very pleased to bid all of you a most cordial welcome to Mexico . I am sure this encounter of ministers of health and agriculture from the countries of the Americas, and the exchange of knowledge and experiences that will take place here, will enable our countries to forge closer cooperation for the benefit of the health of the women and men of the hemisphere . Through the years, this high-level regional forum for collaboration

    Presidential Leadership and Decision-Making in Policy Reforms: The First 150 Days of Vicente Fox Rocío Ramos de Villarreal CID Working Paper No. 75 September 2001 Copyright 2001 Rocio Ramos de Villarreal and the President and Fellows of Harvard College Working Papers Center for International Development at Harvard University Presidential Leadership and Decision-Making in Policy Reforms. The First 150 Days of Vicente Fox Rocío Ramos de Villarreal Abstract At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Mexico, the twelfth-largest economy in the world and the second-largest trading partner of the US, finds itself undergoing profound transformations. After more than seven decades with a hegemonic party exercising presidential power, the country is now immersed in a full-fledged democratic process, after a ‘silk transition’. Politically, there has been a fundamental transformation in the scope of presidential rule and the relationship between the president and Congress. Whereas the legislative branch was subordinate to the executive for over half a century, Mexico’s new democracy has ushered in a Congress that is more powerful and independent, and the president now needs to lobby and negotiate with it. In this context, the ability to pass reform measures requires not only expertise in technical design or instrumental consistency but, foremost, skillfultactical management in the political arena. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of Mexico’s evolution toward electoral democracy and to analyze President Fox’s leadership and the decision-making process he employed in his efforts to attain two major policy reforms in his first 150 days as president: the tax reform and the Indigenous bill.
