Mexico's political risk: A case study

Abstract

Several times a year Planning Review publishes political risk analyses of major U.S. trading partners (see “Balancing Risk and Return in South Africa,” July 1983). Readers with businesses or clients in these countries will value the reports for the predictions they offer. However, the articles are even more useful as case studies of ongoing experimental analysis in which the working mechanism of a country—its key actors and decision structure—are dissected and evaluated. Planners can track current events on decision‐structure charts (see “Systematic Political Analysis for Planners,” November 1983) to update the predictions of the case study. Ultimately, history will tell us how successful this experimental method and analysis has been.
