Abstract

The goal of this article to analyze the Mexico-United States bilateral relations from 2000 till 2018, based on the Mexican standpoint. Even though the US are Mexico´s main partner and its priority in foreign policy, the same cannot be said of the North-American agenda, presenting a relation that is characterized by a deep asymmetric interdependence. Multidimensional themes such as trade, immigration and drug trafficking, among others, take center stage on this interchange, that represent for both countries a mix of domestic and international agendas. The option is to present the evolution of this exchanges in a historical chronological
manner, that deals not only with a brief overview of Mexico´s foreign policy in the 20th century, but also its updates on the post-Cold War world that show the transition of an autonomous agenda to an alignment stance towards the United States. The methodology is based on a bibliographical review about the Mexico-United States bilateral relations from political speeches from members of the Executive and official governmental agencies, the relevant specialized literature and the systematization of economic data.
