For several years, even before 2000, virtually all partisan movements
and large sections of the civil society have agreed on the need to
legislate the so-called “structural reforms” (tax, labor, political,
energetic, among others). Nevertheless, over the past decade, the
reforms undertaken have been far from structural and have proved
insufficient regarding their effectiveness and, in many cases, their
implementation. Equally, additional legislation that would boost and
enhance the already approved reforms is left for a better time. This
legislative error – not exclusive of Mexican Congress – tends to
accumulate potentially beneficial policies in the legal swamp of good
intentions.
At the prospect of a new six-year period, CIDAC has undertaken the task of
elaborating eleven proposals on specific topics that range from public
security, energy, competition and regulation to higher education and
land. Through this exercise, CIDAC intends to open up opportunities for
the discussion of these issues and, by raising, listening and debating
ideas with experts on each matter, to build solid and informed
initiatives that would end up as public policies for the benefit of
Mexico’s development.
