Abstract
PRADO LALLANDE, Juan Pablo. International Cooperation for Mexico's Development An Analysis of its Actions, Institutionalization and Perceptions. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2014, vol.59, n.222, pp.51-86. ISSN 0185-1918.
The Mexican Law of International Development Cooperation (LIDC) was published in 2011 with the purpose of reinforcing the institutional framework and developing a State policy as an activity that is inherent to foreign policy. From an institutional perspective, this paper examines some key aspects of Mexican cooperation that were developed in 2011-2014, with an emphasis on the current status of the LIDC implementation. It is argued that during Felipe Calderon's administration the utter applicability of the Mexican LIDC was not politically supported, thus frustrating the expectations concerning the development of a State policy on this matter. President Enrique Peña Nieto's current administration has made some progress in this direction, but it is also far from fully complying with the LIDC and this has slowed down the institutionalization process of international development cooperation.
