Abstract

This work examines the negotiation insides of the so-called Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) that the Mexican & Japanese governments signed on September 17, 2004. During this process, various historical events were invoked, such as the memorable 1888 treaty which both countries concluded in thoroughly even terms, although suspiciousness were plentiful, especially as a result of losses that some Japanese investors suffered during the 1980s economic crises, & the insecurity environment that has recently prevailed. Yet, the EPA became the basis of a new era in Mexico-Japan trade & diplomatic relations, & was perhaps one of the most plausible contributions of the Fox administration's international policy.
