Abstract:

The traditional Mexican principles of foreign policy - nonintervention, self-determination, and peaceful resolution of differences - will continue in foreign policy rhetoric. But they are sure to be violated, especially the principle of nonintervention, whenever Mexico feels it to be in its interest. This unchanging foreign policy is further confirmed by PRI presidential candidate Carlos Salinas de Gortari's pledge to continue it.
