La politica comercial de Mexico durante el gobierno del presidente Felipe Calderon (2006-2012): avances y desafios

In: Foro internacional: revista trimestral, Band 53, Heft 3-4

Abstract

The trade policy of Calderon's government continued that of previous administrations. Unilateral reduction of tariffs led to greater opening up of the country's economy; measures to boost trade were implemented and major trade disputes were resolved. By contrast, the agenda of trade negotiations made little progress and suffered setbacks. Despite the continuity in policy, business leaders and legislators both sought to overturn trade policy decisions that, however, led to a lack of trade integration. At a domestic level, unilateral liberalization made it easier to import commodities but did not lead to the formation of supply chains. At an external level, economic integration made little progress in creating better conditions for Mexican exports. Adapted from the source document.
