  • 1 Agenda Ciudadana El Oso, El
    1 AGENDA CIUDADANA EL OSO, EL PUERCOESPIN Y UNA RELACIÓN QUE NO CUAJA Lorenzo Meyer La Obra y las Circunstancias.- Si quien fuera embajador norteamericano en México, Jeffrey Davidow, hubiera planeado el momento de lanzar su libro El oso y el puercoespín. Testimonios de un embajador de Estados Unidos en México, (Grijalbo, 2003), la cosa no le hubiera podido salir mejor. Hoy, la naturaleza de la relación México-Estados Unidos es, de nuevo, uno de los temas que están en el centro de la discusión nacional. Sin embargo, esta discusión tiene una naturaleza más de posición de principios que de análisis de hechos, discusión de generalidades en vez de posibilidades de acciones constructivas. El libro del embajador es una oportunidad de enfocar la discusión de tema tan vital hacia lo concreto, hacia la política como arte de lo posible sin olvidar lo deseable. La razón inmediata por la que hoy se está debatiendo en México la forma que debe tener nuestra política hacia Estados Unidos, está relacionada con el cese/renuncia de Adolfo Aguilar Zinser a su puesto como representante de México en Naciones Unidas. Este incidente ha adquirido proporciones insospechadas porque ha tenido lugar en una circunstancia de agresividad norteamericana y vacío mexicano por la imposibilidad de lograr un consenso sobre cual debe ser la relación con el poderoso vecino del norte. En la actualidad, la frontera mexicano-americana es la región del mundo donde cotidianamente se vive el mayor contraste entre el exceso y la falta de poder, entre la riqueza y la pobreza, entre el instinto de dominio y el instinto de supervivencia, entre la prepotencia y la desconfianza sistemática como políticas nacionales.

  • Henry Lane Wilson and Republican Policy Toward Mexico, 1913-1920
    Henry Lane Wilson and Republican Policy toward Mexico, 1913-1920 Raymond L. Shoemaker* Henry Lane Wilson of Crawfordsville, Indiana, is best known to students of American history for his activities as ambassador to Mexico between 1910 and 1913, during the tu- multuous Mexican Revolution, but Wilson also played a signifi- cant role after 1913 in the formulation of Republican party policy toward Mexico. This policy, which was openly hostile to the Mexican Revolution and its leaders, culminated in the party platform on which Warren G. Harding ran in 1920. From 1913 to 1920, Republican leaders repeatedly drew upon Henry Lane Wilson's knowledge and expertise to attack what they considered President Woodrow Wilson's weak and vacillating Mexican policy. Henry Lane Wilson had served for seventeen years in the American diplomatic corps prior to Woodrow Wilson's election to the presidency in 1912.' Included in his services were minis- tries to Chile, Greece, and Belgium, and an ambassadorship to Mexico. Diplomacy was a logical career for Wilson; his father, James Wilson, had also been a politician and diplomat who served as minister to Venezuela in his last years. Henry Lane Wilson first tried his hand at business, only to lose his small fortune in the Panic of 1893.* He then turned to politics, work- ing hard for William McKinley during the 1896 campaign. As a reward for his services, President McKinley appointed Wilson minister to Chile.3 At the time Wilson took up his post, United States-Chile relations were unsettled. Wilson was sympathetic to the Chi- leans and tried with some success to overcome their hostility.

  • Mexican Anti-Americanism and Regional Integration in North America
    NORTEAMÉRICA . Year 6, issue 2, July-December 2011 Recibido: 01/06/2011 Aceptado: 28/09/2011 Mexican Anti-Americanism And Regional Integration in North America BRIAN BOW * ARTURO SANTA -C RUZ ** ABSTRACT Regionalization is a fact in North America, but regionalism has barely gotten off the ground. Several factors have been proposed to explain the underdevelopment of regional institutions in North America: divergent interests and priorities, concerns about sovereignty, nationalism, and, particularly since 9/11, the United States’ preoccupation with policing its borders. One other important element has been largely left unexplored in government and academic stud ies: anti-Americanism. In considering the prospects for deeper North American integration, the per sis tence and effects of anti-Americanism in Mexico is definitively a factor. It is com plex and subtle, with numerous currents spouting from a single wellspring: the U.S. refusal to recognize Mexico as an equal partner. This article takes a historical and contextual approach to tracking its evolution. Key words: anti-Americanism, regional integration, U.S.-Mexico relations, North American identity. RESUMEN La regionalización es un hecho en Norteamérica; en cambio, el regionalismo apenas si ha despegado. Se han mencionado diversos factores para explicar la falta de desarrollo de las instituciones regionales en Norte amé - rica, entre los que se mencionan las prioridades e intereses divergentes, las preocupaciones respecto de la soberanía, el nacionalismo y, en particular desde el 11 de septiembre, la inquietud estadunidense de vigi lar sus fronteras. Ahora bien, un elemento que se mantiene inexplorado, en el gobierno y en los estudios académicos, es el espí r itu antiestadunidense.

CONCLUSION, 97 BIBLIOGRAPHY . 100 iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION In hill first message to Congress in December, 1909, President Taft defined his Latin American policy. Ameri- can capital, he said, was seeking investments in foreign countries,and protection of American citizens and interests was necessary. The President recognised that American penetration would cause friction but his administration would give "all proper support to legitimate and beneficial American enterprises in foreign countries." Although a citisen could not divest himself of the right of protec- tion, nor could the government escape its protective obligation, the expected national advantages would measure the extent of this support. Before giving encouragement to American enterprise in a particular country the United States government would consider whether that nation had shown "moderation, equity, and justice" in its diplomacy and financial dealings.* •^'Presidential Message to Congress," Papers Relating to Foreign Relations of the United States. 1909 (Washington, 1914), p.
