Abstract
This paper explores Mexico?s demographics and key economic statistics and activities to assess this country?s current circumstances and to make predictions for its future prospects. The writer argues that while the recession is negatively impacting most countries, it?s more important to understand if they are prepared to emerge as stronger economies when the recovery takes place. It states that indicators such as infrastructure, resources, and trade policies hold the answer to this question.
From the Paper
"In 2002, Mexico?s population totaled 103,400,165. At this time, the population growth rate was 1.47 percent and the birth rate was 22.36 births/1,000. The majority of Mexicans, 62.7 percent, are between the ages of 15-64 (male 17,310,230, female 16,630,935). Approximately 32.8% are 0-14 years old (male 31,552,877, female 33,246,668), and only 4.5% are 65 years and over (male 2,069,826, female 2,589,629). According to the U.S. Department of State, almost 70% of the population lives in urban areas in 2000. Because of the lack of job opportunities, many Mexicans have emigrated from rural areas such as the underdeveloped southern states and the crowded central plateau to either more industrialized urban centers or developing areas along the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexico City?s population is a huge problem, with more than 18 million residents, making it the largest concentration of population in the Western Hemisphere. Rural population density was estimated to be 98 people per square kilometer in 1997. "

Abstract
This essay attempts to present all new insight into the topic of gender concerns in regard to the Latin American nation of Mexico?s economic development. The report is written as if the author is the Minister of Gender Affairs for Mexico and the new president, who is a woman, ran on a platform that promised gender equality in all new and existing policies within her administration. In this paper, the author, as the Minister of Gender Affairs, must develop a new national plan that both addresses and ends the rampant discrimination against females in Mexico and, in turn, creates new ,generous gender equality policies. The essay addresses issues such as family Legislation, Labor Market Legislation, Trade Policies, Educational Policies, and Agrarian Legislation.
From the Paper
"As the world continues to become a smaller place through the use of new technologies like the Internet and the business community continues to face the intrinsic challenges caused by the highly competitive global economy, Mexico?s labor markets continue to tighten. As the Minister of Gender Affairs for Mexico, I will address the twenty-first century concerns with the Minister of Labor by having our industries hire more women than at any other point in our nation?s history. Once hired, these female workers will discover that the policies that we will institute will remove the existing discriminatory barriers blocking their career paths through obvious glass ceilings. Basically, the existing policies that promote gender discrimination in the work place mean that far too often our qualified females are stopped from moving into positions of leadership within their organization."

"China and Mexico: Political Outlook for Both
Perhaps, among all the so-called ?trading partners? in the world that directly concern the U.S., both our neighbor, Mexico, and the vast land-mass called The People?s Republic of China pose both the greatest opportunities and also some danger. The opportunities are economic, of course. The danger lies in human rights and a difference in political attitude and the very nature of its people and their leaders. We need to get an overview of where relations and political futures of these two vastly different nations are headed. First, Mexico.
From the time many ultra-conservatives wailed that the NAFTA pact would destroy American jobs, the fact that it has brought some economic growth and stability between Mexico and the U.S. has seemed to benefit Mexico?s border states more than it has U.S.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides facts about Mexico in particular its economic setup, industries, imports, exports etc. It discusses how since World War II, Mexico has enjoyed considerable economic growth particularly in agriculture and how cotton, coffee, sugar and tomatoes are the country?s major export crops. Since Mexico is a country rich in minerals and petroleum reserves, industries manufacture iron and steel and other products. It examines how Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) plays a huge role in Mexico?s economy as does tourism and how these economic factors have all contributed to the growth of Mexico over the last several decades. It analyzes Mexican trade policy and government intervention in policy planning.
From the Paper
"Mexico has substantial mineral resources, including immense petroleum reserves and zinc, sulfur, silver, antimony, copper, and manganese (OECD Paris, 1999).

Abstract
This paper discusses the economic crises the Mexican economy has experienced over the last twenty years, briefly explaining the root causes of each financial crisis experienced. The paper also discusses the economic assistance extended to Mexico by the United States, the IMF and other international agencies and why this assistance has consistently failed to deliver Mexico from its economic woes. Finally, the paper explains what must be done in order to ensure Mexico's economic success, suggesting that the only permanent solution lies in institutional reform that embraces market forces.
From the Paper
"For the fourth time in the past 20 years, the Mexican economy is in financial distress, largely because of bad monetary policies pursued by Mexican officials. The United States has responded in all four instances by lending money to the Mexican government as a short?term palliative. The cumulative result is a set of perverse incentives for Mexican officials and foreign investors that ensure the "crisis" will reappear on an even larger scale. In addition, the use of the Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund and the Federal Reserve to fund an administration's foreign ventures raises constitutional issues about separation of powers and undermines the principle of central bank independence."

Mexico and the WTO, 2008.
An analysis of the influence that the World Trade Organization (WTO) has had on Mexico relative to its economic and structural development.
995 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 8 sources, MLA, AU$ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Mexico as subject to international forces within the global economy through both its World Trade Organization (WTO) membership as well as its membership in NAFTA (North American Free Trade Association). The paper specifically looks at the influence that the WTO has had on Mexico relative to its economic and structural development. The paper includes a discussion on which of the sources that were used were the most important.
From the Paper
"Mexico, despite its reputation as a poor country to some degree, maintains a thriving economy and has a population of approximately 107m individuals dispersed across a land mass of nearly three times the size of the state of Texas in the US ("Mexico"). While Mexico has experienced difficulties at times regarding its economic management vis-a-vis the Mexican Peso, it holds much promise as a developing nation because of its population and resources relative to labor efficiencies if it can manage to work some of its advantages as a developing market within the WTO structure (Conway). Unless it can reap certain protections or advantages through the WTO, its very membership in the WTO may essentially be responsible for a severe contraction in its economy because its economy is still dependent on its earlier advantages in cheap labor."

Socio-Economic Hemorrhage, 2000.
An analysis of the economic and political structural differences between settlement in North America and Mexico caused by the building of the Transcontinental Railroad.
1,687 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the furtherance of economic political and social structural inequities between Mexico and the U.S., a process which culminated into the establishment and juncture of the Transcontinental Railroad and various railroads in central Mexico. It examines how from the very beginning, Mexico?s economy and government were at a disadvantage while the United States benefited from the growing economic independence that was able to tap the non utilized labor resources of Mexico. It analyzes how this railroad mobilization vented a surplus labor supply which was never and has never been sustained in Mexico, by improvements in its own economy. It evaluates how, if these structural inequities continue to grow unilaterally as they have been to the present day, Mexico will continue to experience an irrecoverable population hemorrhage to the north and a damaged economy.
From the Paper
"The very beginnings of a diverted relationship in the development of nation-building between the U.S. and Mexico goes as far back to initial colonization efforts by both Great Britain and Spain leading to opposing economic footholds. It is quite surprising to note that by the 1607 establishment of Jamestown, the first American colony in North America, Spanish colonialism had been in effect since 1536 (Saragoza 2). With a time differential of 71 years, it would be logical to believe Spanish settlements would thrive sooner than those of American origin. However, in order to understand why that was exactly what did not happen, we must observe the circumstances under which each government saw their new territory?s raw economic potential. In Latin America, Spain found what they called the ?El Dorado,? an abundant source of gold and silver."

NAFTA: Economic Exploitation, 2008.
An argument that the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) enables economic exploitation through its free trade policies.
1,232 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, APA, AU$ 60.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores the controversy over whether NAFTA has had a negative economic impact on Canada, the United States and Mexico. The paper examines the position of those who support this agreement but argues in favor of critics that have blamed NAFTA for job losses, domestic industrial production declines, agriculture market instability and numerous related economic problems such as the outflow of professionals from Canada and Mexico to the United States. The paper strongly believes that NAFTA has had a negative impact on most North Americans and has benefited only the wealthy and the business elite.
From the Paper
"The past thirteen years have demonstrated that the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement has generated endless debate over whether NAFTA has had a negative impact on Canada, the United States, and Mexico in terms of jobs, the environment, industry, agriculture, and investments. Many critics justifiably blame NAFTA for this wide range of interrelated problems across North America, for it has inflicted economic, political, social, and cultural harm throughout the entire continent since its passage in 1994."

Corruption and Economic Development, 2007.
This paper explores the levels of corruption in relation to economic development in developing countries.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines how political, economic, social and cultural conditions prevailing in a country influence the economic development and the level of corruption. The paper discusses the direct relationship between economic development, corruption and political transition in Mexico, Taiwan, Russia and the People's Republic of China. The paper concludes that there are no easy solutions available for developing countries making the transition from authoritarianism to free-market democracy and struggling to establish viable, stable economies.
From the Paper
"Economic development is often correlated to the degree of corruption, especially in countries struggling to transition from authoritarian rule to free-market democracy. For example, in Mexico and Taiwan, it is evident that correlations exist between economic development and corruption, for the sectors of their economies which are performing the best are the ones most riddled with corrupt relationships between government officials and businessmen in the form of paying bribes or providing kickbacks."

Mexico and the WTO, 2008.
An examination of the influence of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Mexico.
2,287 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 13 sources, MLA, AU$ 101.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the WTO has the greatest influence on Mexico, relative to its economic and structural development. The paper explains how the WTO indirectly affects positive global economic growth; rather than mandating policy, it negotiates and ensures that the smallest economic presence has equal access to the same economic and trade apparatus as the largest presence. The paper notes that with less export trade in goods and services, many developing countries would simply remain dependent on foreign aid and would never develop the internal capacity to establish a positive economic model.
Outline:
Overview
The World Trade Organization (WTO)
Mexico and the WTO
WTO Policies in Terms of Development
The World Trade, FDI and Development
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Mexico is extremely useful in terms of a country for examination relative to ascertaining the influence of developmental policies of international organizations because it has been subject to international forces within the global economy through both its World Trade Organization (WTO) membership as well as its membership in NAFTA (North American Free Trade Association). Additionally, its geographical proximity to the U.S. and its developing economic status ensures that it is subject to various transnational organizational influences by degree depending on the particular organization in question. However, the organization with the greatest influence on Mexico relative to its economic and structural development is the WTO because the WTO's apparatus, while subtle in many respects, has done more to shape the global economy than perhaps any other transnational body and this degree of influence is clearly represented in the Mexican development over the past several decades."

Mexico, 2002.
An analysis of the increasing rate of crime and violence in Mexico.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the increasing rate of crime and violence in Mexico. The paper examines the economic, social and political ramifications of the
drastic levels of crimes and violence. The rise in urban poverty is claimed to be one of the reasons for the rise in crime. The paper explains that the high statistics of crime and violence in Mexico, have significantly impeded any social and economic development.
From the Paper
"Over the past few decades, Mexico?s population has increased and urban poverty levels have risen. As a result of these two factors, Mexico has seen a significant increase in crime and violence. Residents have resorted to illegal means of making money, including drug rings and street crime, as the country struggled to incorporate a capitalist system.
A recent study from the Citizen's Institute for the Study of Insecurity reveals that 4.2 million Mexicans were victims of crime in 2001 (Ortega). Ninety-two percent of the crimes were robberies, and the damages totaled $4.9 billion. Of these crimes, 75 percent of the victims did not tell the authorities and only 11 percent of the criminals were convicted."

The Globalization of Mexico, 2007.
This paper discusses the effects of globalization on the United Mexican States (Mexico).

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that intense collaboration between the Mexican companies and government and foreign investors has led to an extension of Mexico's international relationships, a more liberalized free market and a sustained process of globalization. The author stresses that Mexico's highly industrialized regions have enjoyed the attraction of a wide range of foreign investors, which significantly improved the quality of work and life in these regions; however, those regions, which are not industrialized and do not attract investors, have been left behind. The paper stresses that the most severe criticism brought against globalization is that it contributes to a uneven income distribution and the deepening gap between northern and southern Mexico, problems that existed long before NAFTA and globalization.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Prior to the elections of 1994, soon to be former Mexico President, Carlos Salinas, implemented economic policies that were meant to drive the Mexican economy towards neo-liberalism and globalization. But a large part of the population disagreed with the new policies and, represented by the ELZN (Zapatista Army of National Liberalization), organized both violent and non-violent rebellions against the government. These rebellions, the already declining Mexican economy, investors' decreased interest and trust in an unstable economic climate, high levels of corruption and financial authorities' refusal to devalue the national currency peso threw the country in an economic crisis."
