Organized Crime & Violence in Mexico: Considerations for Future Nearshoring Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)

Organized Crime

De-risking from China is moving manufacturing closer to the United States. Nearshoring is expected to produce opportunities for new investment and economic growth, but can this historic trend also help improve security conditions in Mexico? These concerns and others are addressed in a policy issue paper by Dr. Cecilia Farfán-Méndez, Researcher with the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation at UC San Diego, as well as in this panel. Considering that security is a top concern for moving operations to Mexico, this event will cover recent trends in organized crime and violence and offer recommendations for would-be nearshore focused investors and Mexican US policymakers. 

The full report will be free and available for download after the event.
