摘要:This paper analyzes the preferences of Mexicans in regards to international affairs during the Felipe Calderón administration, on the basis of the survey “Mexico, the Americas and the World”. It answers three questions: is it possible to identify patterns of continuity or change in public opinion in Mexico on international relations issues during the Calderón government? To what extent do global events affect the population’s preferences on foreign issues? Do events within Mexico have any observable impact on the domestic outlook on international affairs? It examines the views of Mexicans in 12 areas of international scope: interest, knowledge, identity, activism, threats, foreign policy objectives, instruments, regional priorities, security, trade and finances, multilateralism and migration.
