POM

 

 

The UCLA Program on Mexico grew out of a five-year grant from the U.S. Agency

for International Development to the Latin American Center for the period from 1970 to

1975. This grant, administered by Associate Director James W. Wilkie, created the

Committee on Mexico, which owing to its many successful activities, became in 1982

the Program on Mexico.

 

POM's activities involve:

 

1.    Coordinating Mexicanists at UCLA.

 

To this end POM has built an inclusive structure for campus-wide faculty and affiliated

campus leaders, as well as established two advisory committees. The current affiliation to

POM includes:

 

a)    52 Faculty

b)    20 Members of Advisory Council on Mexico

c)    19 Members of North American Advisory Council

d)    27 Visiting Scholars

e)    16 Affiliated UCLA Leaders

 

2.    Recruiting Mexican leaders of all ideologies to become graduate students,

scholars and fellows at UCLA. The list includes.

¬     Esteban Moctezuma

¬     Fausto Alzati

¬     JosŽ Angel Pescador

¬     Sylvia Ortega

¬     Alejandro Mungaray

¬     Jesus Arroyo Alejandre

¬     Juan Moreno-PŽrez

¬     Aldo Flores-Quiroga

¬     Alejandro Pelayo Rangel

¬     Arturo Grunstein

¬     Alvaro Ochoa Serrano

¬     Rosario Varo Berra

¬     Alfonso J. Galindo

 

3.  Providing a neutral academic forum where Mexican leaders of opposing ideological

views can meet and safely debate issues outside the pressure-cooker of the Mexico

City political scene, thus removing the political recriminations that occur in Mexico.

 

The most recent events being:

 

a)    2001:  POM Conference on Transition in Mexico.

                        Participants

 

¬     Jorge G. Casta–eda, Secretary of Foreign Relations of Mexico

                  Scheduled to be held in Puebla, November 2003

 

¬     At this Conference, Mexican State Governments will present their Òbest public-policy practices,Ó to be discussed by researchers, public policy specialists, entrepreneurs, and social and intellectual leaders from all continents.

 

¬     This activity will help State governments develop a shared public policy agenda to allow a faster development in the 21st century and a better insertion in a globalized context.

 

Co-organizers:  Government of the State of Puebla and Academia Metropolitana.

6. Conducting research on the complexity of Mexico's regional development, which

had been generally unknown even to most Mexican scholars, who find it easier to

obtain funds to conduct research in Paris, London, and New York than to examine

regional issues in their own country.

 

Under four grants totaling US$ 1,840,000 from the Hewlett Foundation (1986-1998),

POM established the first research on Mexico's regions; and POM convened in 1990

the first scholarly conference to be held in San Crist—bal de las Casas, Chiapas,

Current Research Projects

 

a.            "Bankifying" Mexican Nationals for credit and housing

 

As part of the U.S.-Mexico Alliance for Prosperity Initiatives, POM works with Mexico's Bank of Financial Services and National Savings (BANSEFI) -a Mexican

Government Development Bank- and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to study the financial behavior and literacy of Mexican migrants in the USA.

 

The first stage of the project includes a survey of Mexican migrant workers and their families in the US, to determine the financial services that need to be developed by Los Angeles financial institutions to serve this growing community.

 

 

b.            "Mexican L.A." in the Globalized City of  Greater Los Angeles

 

This Project:

á      Studies the Mexican example as a country that lies as vanguard in the establishment of international commercial treaties;

á      Indicates the importance of the civil and civic Mexican organizations in social and economic change that has occurred in the last few years, contrasting this circumstance with the political conditions in Eastern Europe, where the development of NGOs is incipient.

 

 

c.      Social and Health "Insurance" Issues of Mexican Nationals in the United States

 

This research project is investigating and documenting the situations faced by workers and families who need coverage and health benefits.

 

 

d.   Revival of Social Service Values in the Curriculum of Mexican Universities

 

This project seeks to recover the spirit of social service that made Mexican universities world famous. Rather than requiring social service after completion of studies but before award of the degree, this project seeks to incorporate social service in the curriculum so that it is socially productive and does not create an obstacle to the award of degrees.

 

 

 


e.  Statistical Data for Analysis of World Economic Growth (WEG 105)

 

Developed since 1995 by POM and CILACE (International Center for Economic Growth), WEG 105 has generated a homogeneous database of comparable time-series that show the development of 97 indicators for 9 countries over a 100-year span.

 

The countries are:

 

a. Argentina              d. Indonesia             g. Mexico

 

b. Brazil.                     e. Italy                        h. Spain

 

c. Chile                      f. Japan`                    i. USA

 

 

The 97 indicators are grouped in the following categories:

a.    Gross Domestic Product

b.    Deflators and Price Idexes

c.     Financial and Monetary Indicators

d.    Public Finance

e.    International Trade

f.      Capital Stocks and Investment

g.    Extractive and Manufacturing Activities

h.    Infrastructure

i.      Demography, labor force and wages

j.      Education and human capital.

 

 

In 2001-2002, the 100-year databases for six countries (1895-1994) were revised and the database for Mexico is now being updated to 2000.

 

 


Planned Training Projects

 

 

a)    Summer Executive Courses and Mexican Leaders Program

 

Designed to enhance binational relations between the United States and Mexico, this program brings Mexican executives and leaders to Los Angeles in order to: 

 

á      Participate in seminars analyzing technological change in the World and Mexico's role in the globalization process.

 

á      Gain experience in using modern cybernetic technologies, including the use of Internet as a research tool and e-mail networking.
