Security in parts: the evolution of the Mexico-United States security agenda

Abstract

I review the evolution of the U.S.-Mexico security agenda since the relationship between the two countries became fully normalized, taking the post-revolutionary state identity, Revolutionary Nationalism, as the key explanatory factor in the process. In the first section I elaborate on the construction of identity and its multifaceted meanings. The second looks at Mexico’s post-revolutionary identity as the bedrock of the country’s security relationship with its northern neighbour. In the following three I look at three cases: World War II, Communist Cuba, and drug trafficking. As Mexico’s identity as evolved, a sort of ‘security in parts’ in this North American dyad seems to be emerging.
