Overview

 

AS/COA hosted a presentation of Beatriz Leycegui Gardoqui’s book, Reflections on Mexico’s International Trade Policies (2006-2012). Leycegui’s book originates from a collaboration between the Secretariat of the Economy and the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) with the purpose of showcasing the important role foreign trade has played in Mexico’s economy since the country opened its markets in the mid-1980s. The book contains reflections on Mexico’s international trade policy both from within the country as well as from outside. It details the rationale behind the trade agenda implemented from 2006 to 2012 and the main results, challenges, and lessons from this process. It also explores what the trade agenda will bring in the future. The book is composed of contributions from a variety of contributors such as the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab and Mexico’s Economy Secretary Bruno Ferrari.
