The power to transform? Mexico’s ‘Fourth Transformation’ under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
We engage in a conjunctural analysis of political change (Gramsci; Hall), power (Lukes) and transformation (Polanyi) to inquire into López Obrador’s political project; ‘The Fourth Transformation’ from July 2018 until December 2019. We analyse characteristics and consequences of the use of power by López Obrador as concerns the ‘power to do what?’ in the name of the 4T, shadowed by structural constraints. Additionally, inquiring the paradox of neo…
Special Issue Concluding Discussion
Introduction
This Special Issue examines the dilemmas of modernity, modernization, and tradition in Mexico from a variety of disciplinary perspectives covering foreign policy, cultural diplomacy and nation image creation, security politics, civil society participation in domestic and foreign policy making, congruence/dissonance in the implementation of global and national development goals, poverty reduction strategies, education reforms and global education …

Cultural diplomacy has drawn its justification and objectives from a rationalist view of politics, particularly the various realisms and liberalisms, and substantiating it with theories of social constructivism and cosmopolitanism is pertinent. Cultural diplomacy all the way down implie…
Mexico's Public Diplomacy Approach to the Indo‐Pacific
This article argues that Mexico has a thin public diplomacy approach to the Indo‐Pacific. The reasons are twofold: first, the great weight of the United States poses limits on Mexico's foreign policy outside North America; and second, the scarce resources have been channeled to soft power strategies elsewhere, particularly toward the Indo‐Pacific. However, China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia have better chances to engage productively …
