Mexico is semi-peripheral country in the World-System. Why isn't it a Core Country?

  

This blog explores the question of Mexico' role in the World-System.

• Eight Futures for Mexico The best future for Mexico would be Business-as-Usual (BAU), that is no Geopolitical alignments. Geopolitical with the US would produce a steady state while linkage with China (CN) would be the worst, creating collapse.
• Geopolitical Linkages: Canada, Mexico and the US.The Trump II Administration does not understand the World Trade System.
• Latin America and the Donroe Doctrine US attempts to destroy the Rule-Based World Order and become a regional Hegemon involve dominating both North and South America.
• Latin America Futures  The best future for Latin America is Business-as-Usual (BAU), that is, no Geopolitical Linkages.
• Unstable System Cycles in Latin America Another reason not to pursue Geopolitical Linkage with Latin America!
• Why is it important to study Spain?  Spanish Culture is a strong force in the Southwestern United States and, of course, in Latin America.  The US Government understands none of this and would be an awful Regional Hegemon.
