Mexican cooperation at the crossroads: the difficult road to AMEXCID
Abstract
This essay deals with Mexico’s institutional making of its international cooperation from 1990 to 2011. It starts by analyzing how profound changes abroad (the end of the Cold War) and at home (a new economic model) placed Mexico in a paradoxical position: as a country of the South affiliated to Northern organizations. It recounts the evolution of its international cooperation system during this period and examines how it finally dealt with this challenge: seeking to mediate between Northern and Southern traditions of cooperation and institutionalizing its system through the creation of the AMEXCID.
