碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 西班牙語文學系 === 106 === After Mexico’s governance of the Revolutionary Institution (PRI) Party for 71 years, the Mexican National Action Party (PAN) had as President Fox, who was pursuing the slogan of liberal economics, trying to reverse Mexico’s political system and economic conditions. For the people, the Harvard Business School graduate symbolized a hope of democracy without dictatorship or opposition. The people expected him to bring a new beginning for Mexico by overturning Mexico’s dictatorship history. However, the long-term dictatorship had been constrained by Mexico’s political system, and the majority of the posisitions of parliament were still occupied by the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI) as opposed to the National Action Party (PAN), which significantly reduced the possibilities of President Fox implementing reforms. Fox advocated major reform as a campaign slogan. In terms of political reforms, he advocated safeguarding the legal system and decentralization; in terms of social reforms, he promised to increase employment opportunities, develop education, and reduce the number of people living in poverty. In terms of the economy, he would control inflation and raise the economic growth rate. In terms of promoting relations with the United States, it advocates the promotion of the integration of North American trade zones and actively addresses immigration issues. In the first chapter of this document, in addition to discussing President Fox’s campaign promises, I will also discuss the major political and social reforms proposed by President Fox during the period of his administration, and analyze what he did to the people through historical comparisons; whether his promises were consistent with the final result. The second chapter begins with the discussion of Mexico's economic policy governance under the leadership of Fox's regime, as well as the economic ups and downs, finally result in economic changes. The last chapter focuses on Mexico’s diplomatic efforts. It particularly discusses the relationship between the United States and Mexico, helping to understand the development and changes that occurred in the US-Mexico relations during this period.
