Analyzes controversy surrounding the Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Cooperation Agreement (Global Agreement) signed Dec. 8, 1997 between Mexico and the European Union (EU). Summary in English.

The Economic Partnership, Political Coordination & Cooperation Agreement between Mexico & the European Union (FTAEU) was certainly the main foreign policy project & achievement of the Zedillo administration. Presented as a viable instrument for reversing the excessive concentration of Mexico's economic & political relationships, the FTAEU generated enormous expectations. However, three years after having entered into force, Mexican exports to the EU & European investment flows to Mexico have both been well below what was expected. The existence of a series of structural ingredients that have both induced Mexican exports' poor performance & inhibited the EU from having a broader economic presence in Mexico is elucidated by the author. The author assesses the Agreement's actual potentialities & discusses which sectors are more likely to profit from this instrument. Additionally, the origins & difficult negotiations of the FTAEU are reviewed, with an emphasis on the aspects that have facilitated the completion of the Agreement & those that hindered negotiations for Mexico. 5 Tables, 1 Graph, 34 Appendixes.
