During the 1990s, Mexico took divergent paths in developing its role as an international presence. In the area of economic integration and market liberalization, Mexico became a pioneer of institutional development among emerging markets and an example to the developing world. At the same time, Mexico failed to institutionalize its international cooperation agenda. This paper advocates the passage of an international cooperation law that will provide Mexico with the legal, administrative and financial tools to act more strategically. It also offers operational recommendations for how Mexico can overcome existing obstacles to its cooperation agenda.
