Taking the telecommunications and transport sectors as examples, this text examines the process of privatization in Latin America. It looks at why governments privatized these sectors, what strategies they used to divest enterprises, why private investors were involved, and, most importantly, the effects on performance. Changes in managerial behaviour, related to the process of privatization, are seen as explaining the outcome in terms of efficency and productivity. The text, by analyzing the experiences of several countries, aims to offer insights for other countries, as well as for the privatization of other state sectors.

The past few decades have seen profound changes in the bilateral relationship between the United States and Mexico. The interests of the two countries, which often diverged during the Cold War years, increasingly began to converge following collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. With this convergence, bilateral relations seemed to enter a more cooperative stage. The signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1993 was deemed a fitting symbol of the new, mutually beneficial relationship between the two countries.
