摘要:At the outset of his term of office, Calderón’s foreign policy maintained a low profile due to the domestic political and social situation, the international crisis and the president’s personal concerns. Once interior and exterior conditions improved, the administration was able to drive forward a more dynamic foreign policy. This paper analyzes the foreign policy project set out by Felipe Calderón, reviews Mexico’s international relations during the first part of the administration using systemic, state and individual levels of analysis, and examines the state of affairs at the close of the term in office.
