The inffuence of multilateral organizations and global integration on Mexico's international treaties

Abstract

In the context of an increasingly interdependent global economy, international treaties have become highly relevant for the development and positioning of countries such as Mexico in global trade. This article analyzes the role played by multilateral organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the creation, evolution, and supervision of international treaties that directly affect Mexican foreign trade negotiations and strategic decisions. Based on a review of primary, official, and academic sources, the article identifies the main legislation that Mexico must consider in legal agreements with foreign counterparts, as well as current trends in economic integration that are shaping the course of global trade policy. The challenges facing the country in complying with international standards, balancing its interests with its multilateral commitments, and taking advantage of the opportunities offered by greater economic integration are also discussed. The reflection focuses on the need to strengthen the Mexican state's negotiating capacity and to foster a business culture that is better prepared to operate under global rules.
