Since the 1980s, Mexico has alternately served as a model of structural economic reform and as a cautionary example of the limitations associated with market-led development. This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessment of the principal economic and social policies adopted by Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s.

The disruptive impact of Mexico's economic liberalization process will destabilize Mexico's socio-economic framework. If foreign investors fear that Mexico's reform policy may collapse and lead to the creation of a new and unpredictable set of economic and social arrangements, they will withhold their investments. The expected impact of NAFTA on capital inflows to Mexico would be severely eroded. This study shows that the creation of welfare enhancing effects as a result of NAFTA-induced FDI inflows, and the integration of Mexico's economy into international sourcing and production strategies of transnational corporations will take much longer than previously anticipated.

ABSTRACT: This study examines NAFTA's role in attracting and maintaining foreign investment in Monterrey. In light of the difficulty in separating the effects of NAFTA from other influences, many argue that influxes in foreign investment are not a direct result of the free trade agreement, but rather, a combination of factors such as globalization and economic reforms designed to aid Mexico recover from its national debt crises. A case study approach of five U.S.-based companies in Monterrey was employed to determine if NAFTA was the main, or one of the main reasons, for expansion to Mexico. Additional key informants within governmental organizations were utilized to assess the investment environment in Monterrey and the likelihood that NAFTA was a strong influence. Economic data were collected to compare total levels of investment in Mexico both before and after the implementation of NAFTA, as well as levels of U.S.-based investment. The study revealed that NAFTA has, in fact, been successful at drawing foreign investment to Monterrey, both directly and indirectly. Although Chapter 11 was not cited by interviewees, my research findings demonstrate that it underpinned the willingness of investors to come to Mexico because its trade protections made investment secure and profitable.

Today Mexico is viewed as a success story in the management of economic adjustment and structural reform. Inflation is under control, capital and foreign investment are returning, and output growth has increased. Mexico's recovery, however, has been neither fast nor smooth, and the social costs the country has borne for the past several years have been very large. In 1982, Mexico faced a severe balance-of-payments crisis. Rampant inflation, capital flight, and a collapse of economic activity were the consequences of an overexpansionist fiscal policy and adverse external conditions. For the next five years, the Mexican government struggled to restore stability and growth without success. Falling oil prices and lack of adequate external financing made these goals extremely difficult to achieve. With the implementation of the Economic Solidarity Pact, inflation was finally brought down in 1988. However, fiscal discipline and far-reaching reforms notwithstanding, growth did not follow. To convince investors to put their capital in Mexico required something more. Initiatives such as the reprivatization of the banking system and the pursuit of a free trade agreement with the United States finally produced the observed turnaround starting in 1990. In this book, Nora Lustig tells the story of adjustment and reform in Mexico from the onset of the debt crisis in 1982 through the early 1990s when the sweeping reforms began to bear fruit. The author looks closely at the social costs of adjustment and who bore the greatest share. In addition, she explores the characteristics of the new development strategy and analyzes the motivations and potential consequences of Mexico's search for greatereconomic integration with the United States.
