Multilateral diplomacy has represented for Mexico an important counterweight space in its immediate geopolitical environment. Through it, Mexico developed initiatives and assumed positions that left their mark on the main issues on the international agenda. Multilateralism also made it possible to mitigate asymmetries in inter-American relations in the face of conflicts that arose on the continent and that put the guiding principles of Mexican foreign policy to the test. Currently, the growing interdependence of the domestic agenda on the environment, migration, drugs and regional security forces us to review the trajectory of Mexican multilateralism. In response to this imperative, this work offers a systematic review of the main interventions of Mexico in multilateral forums, an essential path to know the directions of Mexican diplomacy in these matters, as well as to evaluate the scope and limitations that allow to pose realistically the challenges facing global governance in a world of crisis.

Darstellung und Beurteilung der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zwischen Afrika und der EG aus kubanischer Sicht

We discuss a model of gradual coalition formation with positive externalities in which a leading country endogenously decides whether to negotiate multilaterally or sequentially over climate change. We show that the leader may choose a sequential path, and that the choice is determined by the convexity of the TU-game and the free-rider payoffs of the followers. Except in a few clearly defined cases, the outcome of the negotiation process is always the grand coalition, although the process may need some time. This holds for the standard IEA game with heterogeneous players even if the grand coalition is not stable in a multilateral context. We also analyze the role of a facilitating agency. The agency has an incentive to speed up intra-stage negotiations and to extend the period between negotiation stages in a sequential process. ; Peer reviewed

El presidente panameno, Ernesto Perez Balladares, viajo a Washington en septiembre de 1995, oportunidad que aprovecho para plantearle al mandatario de ese pais, Bill Clinton, la creacion de un Centro Multilateral Antidrogas. A partir de esa fecha se iniciaron las negociaciones para establecer el Centro en el marco del complejo militar que EEUU aun mantiene en Panama. El 22 de diciembre de 1997, el gobierno panameno le informo al pais que las negociaciones en torno al Centro Antidrogas habian concluido con exito. Con el fin de contribuir a un debate esclarecedor sobre la presencia militar norteamericana en Panama y el significado de ese pacto, en estas paginas se presenta el texto integro del acuerdo.
