  • Peña Nieto's Cabinet
    Peña Nieto’s Cabinet: What Does It Tell Us About Mexican Leadership? By Roderic Ai Camp An analysis of cabinet leadership in Mexico has always provided insights into political recruitment trends for the policy-making leadership in general. In the past, the leadership of cabinet agencies has exerted a tremendous influence on formal and informal characteristics of Mexican government officials. One only has to look back at the rise of technocratic leadership in the region generally, and Mexico’s own special version in the 1980s and 1990s.1 That component of national political leadership imprinted many distinctive patterns on national politicians, some of which continue to the present. Such an analysis of the present cabinet is particularly significant for three reasons. First, to what extent does the current leadership reflect changes in compositional patterns of the most influential policy-makers which are the result of a democratic electoral process dating from 2000? Second, does the return of the PRI reflect traditional patterns established by the last two presidential administrations, those of Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994) and Ernesto Zedillo (1994-2000), or has the present cabinet taken on features which reflect the influences of two previous National Action Party administrations led by Presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón? Third, have significant patterns emerged reflected in these recent appointments, and those of the two previous administrations, which suggest influential characteristics exercising broader influences in the future? This essay briefly analyzes the backgrounds of the twenty-two cabinet secretaries and important cabinet- level agencies, and the president, and compares them with equivalent leadership, where appropriate, from three prior presidential periods.

Policy Recommendations for a Globally-Oriented Economic Strategy submitted to Professor Roderic Ai Camp by Víctor Manuel HernándezRodríguez for Senior esis Spring 2018 23 April 2018 Abstract Mexico, one of the world’s largest economies and an increasingly relevant actor in international affairs, is at a crucial point in defning its future policy course. Given the uncertainty surrounding the global economy, as well as the political situation in Mexico, it is important to have a clear vision for policy going forward. Tis thesis offers a foundation for a national economic strategy with a long-term vision, upon which future administrations can build as appropriate to maximize on the country’s economic potential. Te task is undertaken through a three-part approach. First, a thorough and analytical overview of the country’s economic history provides context and lessons from which to learn. Second, key economic issues to be addressed are identifed through an evaluation of the current context and economic outlook. Finally, an evaluation of successful policy implementation, domestically and abroad, provides a basis that can be adapted to address the issues identifed as they affect Mexico.
