Abstract

Mexico finished 2016 in worse shape than it started: not only did national indicators wors­en, mainly in terms of violence and social unrest, but the country also faced an increasingly hostile international climate characterized by a volatile economy with low oil prices, a de­preciating peso, and the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential elections. Conse­quently, the year ended with presidential approval ratings at an all-time low, widespread and unchecked corruption, and increasing concerns about the government’s legitimacy and the future of democracy in Mexico.
