The perspectives for the Mexican Economy in the next years will depend, on the one hand, on the uncertain dynamics of a world economy that experiments a state of systemic turbulence and, on the other hand, on the implementation of a wide set of anti-neoliberal policies by MORENA´s government that will try to generate new development conditions on the basis of the recovery of workers' income and of the strengthening of the internal market.

This paper will contribute to the discussion of such perspectives, analysing, on the one hand, the trends of the articulations of the Mexican economy with the world market through the international flows of trade, foreign direct investment, and financial and speculative capital and, on the other hand, the economic, social and political contents of the proposed new administration's policies, especially the ones oriented to the regulation of such international flows.

Once again, the discussion of the possibilities and shortcomings of developmentalist and neo-developmentalist strategies is central. The critical analysis of the unfolding of the "pink tide" in Latin America at the beginning of the 21st Century has to be the permanent background for the construction of an international long-run revolutionary program.
