Overview
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.
