Published quarterly by the recently established Office for Mexican Studies of the University of Texas at Austin, The Mexican Forum includes feature essays, reports on public forums, and notices of research-in-progress and publications. The first issue featured economic development policy planning in Mexico; the second contained an interview with Victor Urquidi and an essay on Mexican subsidies and United States law.

Those who wish to know more about Mexico and to understand the issues affecting the relationship between Mexico and the United States will find The Mexican Forum of real value.
