This publication outlines the strategies of Mexico's new president, Peña Nieto. It also discusses the role external players such as the US and Central American states will play during Peña Nieto's presidential term. The author argues that Mexico has many features of a failing state including corruption, nepotism, fragile government structures, a weak police and justice system, civil organizations incapable of bringing about change and an exponential increase of brutal violence related to the "narco industry". The security situation in Mexico is likely to deteriorate and will remain a key concern for the new administration.
