The border is a hot topic in the upcoming U.S. elections this fall, but what will this election mean for Mexico? How will it shape Mexico?s ongoing democratic transition? How will it shape our rich binational trade, social, and cultural relationships? Please join us for a discussion of these and other pressing questions with Dr. Jes?s Silva Herzog M?rquez, a leading Mexican essayist and political commentator, the son of Mexico's most famous finance minister, and the grandson of a pioneering historian and diplomat.
