Bridging the Border cover

Mexico's foreign policy toward the United States is in a period of transition, sparked by the passage of NAFTA and sustained by ongoing political, economic, and environmental concerns. Here, distinguished scholars from Mexico, the U.S., and the U.K. take up questions relating to the future of Mexico-U.S. relations in crucial areas including lobbying and diplomacy, labor relations, immigration and expatriation, and international finance.

De la Garza and Velasco have done a great service in assembling a group of such able scholars to explore one new dimension of [the U.S.-Mexico] relationship—Mexico's increasing efforts to influence the United States. . . . Bridging the Border is a well-written and valuable contribution to understanding the changing phenomenon of U.S.-Mexican relations. * American Political Science Review *
De la Garza and Velasco have produced an important volume on Mexican-U.S. relations from the Mexican point of view, with a special emphasis on Mexican attempts to influence U.S. policy toward Mexico. * CHOICE *
