CO-ORGANIZERS:
Dr. Cecilia Farfán-Méndez, Researcher with the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation at UC San Diego and the Center for Studies on Security, Intelligence, and Governance (CESIG) at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM).
Discussants:

Isaac Morales, Senior Director for Cybersecurity & Data Privacy, LATAM FTI Consulting
Alejandro Schtulmann, President & Head of Research, Emerging Markets Political Risk Analysis-EMPRA, S.C.
Background:
De-risking from China is moving manufacturing closer to the United States. Nearshoring is expected to produce opportunities for new investment and economic growth, but can this historic trend also help improve security conditions in Mexico? Considering that security is a top concern for moving operations to Mexico, this panel will discuss recent trends in organized crime and violence and offer recommendations for would-be nearshore focused investors and Mexican U.S. policymakers.
The full report will be free and available for download after the event.
