Please join us in welcoming Dr. Joy Langston for a seminar on Mexico as part of the Latin America at the Crossroads spring seminar series. The 2018 presidential election in Mexico will likely be one of the most consequential in recent decades. Ongoing problems color the election, such as widespread corruption, a failed war on drugs, and middling economic growth. But there are also new concerns, such as fears of Russia meddling and resurgent Mexican nationalism, stoked by President Trump. Will this be the election when voters turn to a maverick: Andrés Manuel López Obrador?
