After nearly a year of blogging for the FPA, I’m moving on to a new opportunity with the Political Database of the Americas at Georgetown University. I’d like to thank my co-blogger, Alejandro Quiroz Flores, for a great year of writing together as we’ve documented Mexico’s rise to the top of the headlines. Thank you as well to everyone who has read and linked to our blog, encouraging us to keep writing and bringing analysis of Mexico.
Although I’m dismayed at the huge rise in drug violence, US-Mexico relations are once again on the forefront of international news and hopefully with the American government. I’m disappointed that the Mexican ambassador to the US, Arturo Sarukhan Casamitjana, never responded to my request for an interview, but aware that his agenda is full of the issues that we’ve written about during this past year. After graduation, it’s likely that I will continue working on issues related to Mexico.
Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or on my profile on LinkedIn. Thank you once again, and Happy Trails!
Mike
