The future role of the ejido in rural Mexico

The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, established in 1979, is the largest U.S. program devoted to the study of Mexico and U.S.-Mexican relations. The Center supports research in all the social sciences and history, graduate student training, publications, and public outreach activities. Its programs address the full range of problems affecting economic and political relations between Mexico and the United States; the history, economy, politics, and social structure of Mexico; and aspects of the U.S. economy and U.S. public policy that affect Mexico. Through its Researchers-in-Residence Program, the Center each year brings together a critical mass of about twenty-five researchers from institutions in several countries. Visiting Fellows spend from three to twelve months in residence at the Center, where they pursue individual research and writing projects and participate in seminars, research workshops, and public outreach activities. The Center also supports longterm studies of political transition in Mexico, the consequences of Mexico’s economic restructuring, Mexican environmental policy and the challenge of promoting sustainable development on the U.S.-Mexico border, the economic and political consequences of North American integration, and Mexican labor migration to the United States. The Center publishes much of the research conducted under its auspices. Each summer the Center conducts a six-week seminar in studies of the United States for twenty-three Latin American social scientists and nonacademic professionals. To improve public understanding of Mexico and U.S.-Mexican relations, the Center organizes briefings on key issues affecting Mexico and bilateral relations between Mexico and the United States for journalists, public officials, business executives and labor leaders, representatives of nongovernmental organizations, and the general public. The Center also holds a weekly Research Seminar on Mexico and U.S.-Mexican Relations, which provides a forum for researchers and guest speakers to examine new research and public policy perspectives on Mexico and U.S.-Mexican relations.
