The foreign policy of the government of Enrique Peña Nieto towards Latin America and the Caribbean in a world in transition: a drama in three acts.

Those responsible for making decisions usually formulate, restructure, reform or adjust Mexican foreign policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean based on the changes that take place on the chessboard at the international, regional and national levels. In this regard, the presidency of President Enrique Peña Nieto is an illuminating case study, since during his administration the Mexican government had to respond to a number of situations that arose in these three fields of action simultaneously. In line with these adaptations, over the period studied we recorded three cycles of diplomacy by Peña in the region: promotion, withdrawal, and containment.
