Abstract

Mexico’s stances toward Middle Eastern actors and crises since the 1990s reflect a tendency of compartmentalizing security thinking and practices, that is, of decoupling political and economic issues, as well as the dynamics of Middle Eastern subregions and their crises. Mexico’s foreign policy “role conception” and the “operational code” of the leadership are the two main variables that structure our analysis of Mexico’s foreign policy toward Israel-Palestine, the “Arab Spring”, and the Arab Gulf countries. The influence of non-state actors and public opinion are also considered.
