El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar la influencia de la concepción de la soberanía nacional de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá en la construcción de instituciones regionales en América del Norte, desde la perspectiva del constructivismo. El ensayo argumenta que la concepción de la soberanía nacional de cada uno de los Estados de América del Norte ha influido en que las principales instituciones regionales se hayan producido sin una identidad colectiva regional que las sostenga. Este argumento está sustentado a partir del análisis discursivo de la idea de la soberanía nacional de Estados Unidos, México y Canadá en la renegociación del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, en 2017.

The aim of this work is to make an assessment of Mexican foreign policy during Vicente Fox's administration. The main contention is that, at first, the Mexican government had substantial leverage for international negotiation, which enabled the country to have some successes. However, international changes after 9/11 & a series of domestic problems reduced Mexico's external leeway for action. The paper is divided in three sections. The first one deals with the foreign policy plan that was put forward by Vicente Fox at the beginning of his administration. The second section analyses his main foreign actions, by region. & the last section presents an overall assessment of that policy. Tables, Graphs. Adapted from the source document.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the Executive & Legislative branches in foreign policy issues during the 2000-2006 period. While in quantitative terms there was not a significant change, the relationship between both branches was characterized by being conflictive. The key argument is that the confrontation between the Executive & the Legislative in foreign policy issues was due to the electoral interests of the key political actors. The paper is divided into three parts. The first one describes the theoretical & legal frame that explains the relationship between the Congress & the Executive in foreign policy matters. The second part analyzes this interaction from a quantitative perspective. Finally, the last part evaluates the relationship from a qualitative criterion, using the cases of the Mexican relationship towards the United States, Cuba & Venezuela.

Recent trends in Mexican foreign policy are reviewed, identifying eight key characteristics: (1) the supremacy of the president in the foreign policy decision-making process; (2) the existence of a dual policy; (3) the intensification of a pragmatic foreign policy; (4) the emphasis on an economic-oriented foreign policy; (5) the increasing role of the US in the policy formulation process; (6) the supremacy of the external arena; (7) the lack of adequate bargaining power, & (8) the loss of the traditional direction on foreign policy that emanated after the Mexican Revolution.

The case of Mexico is used to illustrate contemporary problems relating to international migration. Mexico produces the third highest level of international migration in the world, behind Turkey & Morocco. Because of the migratory flow from Mexico to the US, bilateral relations are tense, & there is uncertainty about the migratory phenomenon, as evidenced by more secure border operations & the passage of Proposition 187 in CA limiting social services for illegal immigrants. For a number of reasons, the North American Free Trade Agreement will probably not diminish the flow of migrants across the Mexico-US border in the near future. Such a change would require a new equilibrium in access to resources & material goods in Mexico. 1 Table. Adapted from the source document.

Immigration policy in the US is examined from its theoretical roots to current practices, arguing that the measures adopted promote political, economic, & social interests, & have not terminated border crossing. A historical overview is presented of immigration to the US, emphasizing contributions to the US economy. Also discussed is how racist ideas influence immigration policy. S. Jameson
