Nuclear energy, generated through atomic fission, is one of the cleanest sources in terms of carbon emissions. It has been controversial for decades, largely due to stigmas attached to Chernobyl and Fukushima. But given the urgent demand for clean power to fight climate change, reconsidering its role as a viable, efficient alternative is no longer optional.

As head of the COVID-19 Task Force at Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I led a small but agile team through one of the most consequential global crises in modern history. Drawing on insights from Germany, France, Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Singapore, we secured over $90 million USD in critical donations and negotiated memorandums of understanding with 19 vaccine developers. This is an account of how solidarity, global collaboration, and unco

Historic centres are more than political epicentres or tourist landmarks. They are living spaces where communities converge across centuries. Mexico City's Historic Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 11 December 1987, exemplifies this complexity. In 2011, working alongside historian Dr Alejandra Moreno Toscano, then-Authority of the Historic Centre, we developed a Management Plan to reverse decades of decline and restore the area as a hub of commerce, culture, and civ

There is growing confusion in Mexico between nearshoring and the 1990s Maquila initiative. As global trade shifts, it is crucial to distinguish these concepts and embrace a new vision that leverages Mexico's full potential, one that should be reframed as North American Prosperity Integration.

Global health today is shaped by an overlapping set of crises, from HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis to rising non-communicable diseases and emerging pandemics. Addressing them requires more than funding: it demands a strategic alliance between international foundations and governments capable of building institutional frameworks that outlast any single intervention.

Mexico sits on world-class solar, wind, and geothermal resources yet remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels. The international record is clear: countries that paired long-term vision with decisive state action transformed their energy systems. Mexico can do the same.

Michael Stott's Financial Times piece on Mexico's political transformation under López Obrador and Claudia Sheinbaum mistakes Cold War-era framing for analysis. A point-by-point rebuttal of eight misleading arguments, from NAFTA's real purpose to the democratic legitimacy of Mexico's current government.

Mexico can leverage its abundant renewable resources to lead in clean energy, securing sovereignty and sustainable development.

I have always believed that, at their core, people want to be heard. There is something profoundly transformative in dialogue: sitting across from someone, stepping into their shoes, and discovering that our differences often conceal deeper commonalities.

Mexico must look to Asia, where countries like Singapore and China treat air transport as critical infrastructure. Mexico's aviation system stands at a crossroads. Decades of privatization, lax regulation, and monopolistic practices have driven up costs, narrowed consumer choice, and left the infrastructure fragmented. Yet amid these challenges, an opportunity is emerging: the rebirth of Mexicana, the state airline, and a renewed national strategy...

Unlike conventional cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, mRNA cancer vaccines train the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. The cancer treatment world stands on the brink of a revolutionary transformation, driven by advances in mRNA vaccine technology. A tool that reshaped the fight against COVID-19, mRNA is now being repurposed to combat one of humanity's most devastating diseases: cancer.

The Prospective Atlas presents a clear vision of Mexico's potential as an industrial leader in North America.

Mexico faces a historic decision: remain subject to concentrated economic interests, or become a truly global nation that empowers its people through the public sphere. Inspired by Gandhi and Sam Pitroda, this piece proposes an ethical vision of development, investing in education, health, justice, and inclusion as the pillars of a democracy that does not merely promise, but transforms.

Confidence in the Mexican state and its national energy company is alive and growing. Amid global volatility and inherited financial pressures, Petróleos Mexicanos is charting a new course: one that yields no sovereignty, yet opens the door to responsible co-investment. The news that 28 companies (including Carlos Slim's Grupo Carso) have expressed interest in partnering with Pemex under mixed-development frameworks sends a clear signal: confidence in the state...

A new legal framework and a renewed vision for energy development give Mexico the foundation to leap from manufacturing platform to industrial powerhouse. The global solar industry is at an inflection point. As the United States redefines its industrial policy amid a shifting domestic landscape and China consolidates its technological dominance across critical value chains, Mexico has a historic opportunity, not merely to integrate, but to lead.

At 80 years since Hiroshima, the shadow of that bomb persists. On August 6, 1945, the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima did not simply end a war: it destroyed an imperial Japan and forced the birth of another. From a feudal, militarist empire, Japan was rebuilt under American occupation as a pacifist, export-driven power. Yet as the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima arrives, the shadow of that bomb lingers, not as a mushroom cloud, but...

Access to essential medicines cannot depend on ability to pay or market speculation. In Mexico, access to essential medicines cannot depend on ability to pay or market speculation. We propose a national maximum reference price that passes the state-negotiated price through to the end consumer. If the government buys at $10, no one should pay more than $11, regardless of whether they use IMSS/ISSSTE, private insurance, or the corner pharmacy. The goal:...

A strategic convening bringing together government, academic, and business leaders to translate science and technology into social well-being. The agenda prioritizes digital health, precision medicine, and telemedicine for more efficient health systems. Mexico positions itself as a regional hub for scientific cooperation, betting on development grounded in shared knowledge. More than diplomacy: social infrastructure.

The article argues that the energy transition must center people, not just technical metrics. From an energy justice standpoint, it contends that energy access must be equitable, reliable, and affordable, especially for vulnerable communities. It proposes measuring success by impact on well-being and quality of life, driving a transition that is both sustainable and socially just.

Estonia transformed an entire country in a decade. Mexico could learn from that. In February, an official Estonian delegation arrived in Mexico carrying something more valuable than technology: a different way of thinking about the state. Through the alliance between Enterprise Estonia and Scientika, a conversation has opened that rarely occurs in Latin American public policy. Not about which platforms to adopt, but about how to build systems that actually work.
