The U.S.-Mexico Futures Forum

The goal of the U.S.-MEXICO FUTURES FORUM is to generate fresh perspectives on a critical set of issues that will be important for each country and central to their relationship. In collaboration with the International Studies Department at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), we will bring together scholars as well as social and political actors who will be shaping policies, ideas and U.S. Mexican relations in the future.
