Multilateralism and Domestic Transformation: The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and Mexico’s Telecommunications Reform

Summary/Abstract: The authors illustrate how multilateral foreign policy can work as a lever for domestic transformation and international organizations can become an agent of change, when a government is willing and committed to advance a reform agenda. They examine the impact of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in the structural reforms carried out by Mexico since 2012, by analyzing the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Reform as a case study. They describe how Mexico’s foreign policy towards the OECD has contributed to the transformation of these sectors through evidence-based analysis and tailor-made policy advice. They conclude by reflecting on the OECD’s role in the future of the reform agenda in the country, and on its increasing contribution to the Latin American region.
