Contemporary US-Mexico Relations

4 credits

Course explores the complex, dynamic, and asymmetrical bilateral relations between the U.S. and Mexico. Topics include immigration, trade, security, the border, and energy. We will go beyond theory to favor a policy-making approach and consider the decision-making processes on both sides of the border and the alternatives officials often seek. Students may not receive credit for GPPS 453 and GPGN 490 with the same title.
