Mexico's Foreign Policy in 1990

Mexico's Foreign Policy of 1990 was marked by an acceleration of trends that began a few years ago, producing a pattern of relationships that would have been almost unimaginable only a decade ago. On the one hand, its most obvious characteristic - begun during the de la Madrid sexenio and heightened during Salinas's first year in office - was that economic recovery became the focal point of government strategy: i.e., there was an "economization" of foreign policy. On the other hand, and reflecting the weight given to economic issues, the movement toward integration with the United States - a trend already apparent in the previous administration - picked up speed and acted as a direct complement of the development strategy. This move became more concrete as preliminary talks got under way preparatory to signing a joint free trade treaty
