The United States and Mexico: a stormy alliance, Isabelle Vagnoux.
Ever since the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and the ensuing Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the relationships between Mexico and the United States have been marked by constant tensions, anti-American feelings, racist prejudices and conflicts of all kinds. Yet, geographically close though psychologically distant neighbors, the two countries have become increasingly interdependent over the years. With the implementation of NAFTA in 1994, this interdependence has reached a climax. As was made clear by the peso crisis of December 1994, Washington cannot remain indifferent to Mexico's woes, and in turn, Mexico is regularly affected by US decisions. This study focuses on the main issues that have kept dividing and at the same time uniting the two countries since 1945, i.e. economic relations, immigration, drug trafficking and foreign policy.
