Abstract | The interview focuses on the political side of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and international policy within the United States and Mexico. Martinez-Gallardo first covers everything from how the Mexican government works and is organized, in terms of its democratic representation and the history of leadership beginning in the 1980s and moving through NAFTA into the current period. She also talks about the political struggles and shortcomings of working within governmental bodies to pass such a large encompassing bill. Martinez-Gallardo comments the downfalls and shortcomings of the bill including how it was crafted and negotiated, leaving public sentiment and other concerns such as the environment out of the political discussions. |
