The Challenge of Entangled Inequalities

 

 

     The LSE Latin America and Caribbean Centre, the LSE Department of Government, and the LSE Student Union Mexican Society, with the support of the Mexican Embassy in the UK, will host the 17th LSE Mexican Week. The event is a three-day series of conferences and roundtables whose theme – The Challenge of Entangled Inequalities – was chosen by the Mexican Society at LSE.

     The objective is to provide a setting for the dialogue of challenges faced by Mexico in a global context and to engage in an exchange of ideas with our guest lecturers. Over the past 16th years, the Mexican Week has brought together senior practitioners, policy-makers, governors, ministers, and other officials and academics interested in Mexican and Latin American issues.

     This year, we will discuss the pressing situations of poverty and inequality affecting Mexico and Latin America, as well as specific policies which could be implemented to reduce these problems, increase social mobility, and foster inclusive development.

     Experts will also debate the current situation of Mexico and Latin America regarding the fight against corruption and the challenges to the implementation of the Rule of Law.

     The final conference will discuss the impact of Trump’s Administration on the U.S. – Mexico bilateral relations. Experts will share their views about what they expect the future relationship to be and the possible consequences for Mexican immigrants and NAFTA.
