Claudia Sheinbaum's Security Strategy: A Path Forward?

On October 1st, Claudia Sheinbaum made history by becoming the first woman to assume the Mexican presidency, marking a significant milestone for the nation. The upcoming webinar will feature a panel of experts examining her initial approach to national security. The discussion will delve into her administration's security framework, highlighting both new initiatives and key policy adjustments that define Sheinbaum’s strategy. Panelists will evaluate her administration’s early days, providing insights into how effectively she has responded to Mexico's most pressing security concerns, including the dynamics of cooperation and coordination with the United States.

Additionally, the discussion will compare Sheinbaum’s strategy to that of her predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, focusing on continuities and departures in methodology, priorities, and projected impacts. This event offers a valuable opportunity to assess whether Sheinbaum’s approach signals a substantive shift or a refinement of previous policies, as well as what her leadership means for Mexico's stability, public safety, and the binational relationship with the U.S. in the years to come.
