Episode notes

How do domestic reforms in Mexico spill over into regional politics? And what role does Mexico play as a bridge between North America, Latin America, and the wider world?

🎙️ Dr. Ivo Ganchev continues his conversation with Dr. Octavio Gonzalez Segovia (FLACSO-México) to explore:

  • Why Latin America develops its own models of integration instead of copying the EU
  • Intra-regional learning and the spread of innovations like Curitiba’s transport system
  • Mexico’s geopolitical position between North America, Latin America, and the Global South
  • The impact of Trump-era U.S. policies on Mexican nationalism and regional cooperation
  • The unprecedented judiciary reform in Mexico and its possible ripple effects across the region
  • Recommended films and literature to better understand Latin American politics and society

🎧 New Regional Orders is the official podcast of the Centre for Regional Integration, hosted by Dr. Ivo Ganchev. Each season focuses on a different world region, unpacking the political, economic, social, and geographic factors that drive regional change.
