ABSTRACT
In the last 20 years Mexico was first a symbol of successful socioeconomic openness and development in the context of globalisation and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); since the beginning of the twenty-first century, however, it became a symbol for not being able to compete with Asia and China. What are the current conditions of Mexico’s manufacturing sector and which were the main influences on this sector in Mexico since the 1990s?
