U.S.-Mexico Relations: Leadership for the 21^st Century

Twenty-three years have passed since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) re-defined the economic relationship between the United States and Mexico. In that time, the U.S., Mexico and the world have been transformed by the internet, technology and the information revolution. This seminar explores the U.S.-Mexico relationship, delving into its economic, political, security, and cultural facets. How can values-based leaders’ decisions and choices in these arenas shape the countries’ future relationship?

Moderators: Welby Leaman, Senior Director of Global Government Affairs at Walmart; Dan Restrepo, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress
