Third Meeting of the United States - Mexico Binational Relationship Observatory
November 12, 2022
Institutional Context
The United States - Mexico Binational Relationship Observatory was created in 2020 by the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico’s (UNAM) Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. It focuses on redefining the relationship between the two countries through the study of the binational relationship. This study includes the understanding between the governments of both countries, as well as the plurality of actors involved in an interdependent way that require a space for dialogue and analysis; and their relevance in making decisions on the public agenda.
The Observatory recognizes the important role that observatories play in establishing spaces for analysis, evaluation, monitoring, reflection and generation of public policy proposals. Its work focuses on the binational relationship between Mexico and the United States, at the institutional, social, cultural, economic and political levels; in spreading and generating knowledge about the binational context; and in monitoring actions and developments on both sides of the border in order to influence public policies.
Third Meeting of the United States - Mexico Binational Relationship Observatory
The Third Meeting of the United States - Mexico Binational Relationship Observatory took place on November 12th, in a virtual modality. The title of the meeting was “The dynamics of the past to build the future: 200 years after the binational Mexico-United States relationship”. The virtual forum aimed to disseminate and generate knowledge about the relationship between the two nations. During the event, university students and the general public presented their works and research related to the binational field so that they can later be published in a special issue of the Observatorium magazine.
The event was attended by Mexican Ambassador to the United States, Ana Luisa Fajer; the General Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Diplomatic Historical Collection, Laura Moreno; the Deputy Chief of Mission to Mexico, Stephanie Syptak-Ramnath; and Former Ambassador, Miguel Malfavón.
