    Federalism and free trade in San Luis Potosí, Mexico
    in Regional and Federal Studies , Volume 16, Number 1 / March ,  2006 ,  43-61
    Globalization has brought international issues to arenas of subnational jurisdiction. In the more developed countries, this process has led to the regionalization of international relations. This article explores how subnational units in developing countries address these same questions. The case of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and its conflict with two large foreign corporations is analysed. This study highlights how international conflicts have set off some important changes in intergovernmental relations and foreign policy in Mexico, even if regional activity in the international system is largely missing.
