The Center for Strategic and International Studies hosts a discussion on the future of the Mexican government under the country's new President.
Four experts discussed whether Mexico will continue to head toward reform and modernization under the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
So far, President Enrique Peña Nieto has appointed a foreigner as a security adviser, announced his intention to open Pemex to foreign investment and launched a broadside against Mexico's teachers' union.
Participants included: Luis Carlos Ugalde, director general of the Integralia Consultores and former president of Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute (IFE); Ambassador Jeffrey Davidow, senior counselor at The Cohen Group and former U.S. ambassador to Mexico; Manuel Suárez-Mier, economist-in-residence at the School of International Service at American University and former chief of staff to the governor of the Bank of Mexico; and Duncan Wood, director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
