In class we were having a discussion whether Mexico was going to become a world power or not. In my opinion Mexico has the ability to become a world power and it will eventually become one.

- It has a large population
- The possible relative decline in the power of other nations, such as the US.

- Mexico is the only Latin American country in the OECD.
- It has oil (though we have few refineries)
- Strong economical link to NAFTA partners.
- Uneven income distribution
- Lots of Corruption
- Drug wars
