Is Mexico a Failing State? Maybe

On Imagen News I spoke to Jorge Chabat about a report issued by the US Joint Forces Command which outlines the US militaries concern regarding Mexico becoming a failing state. The name of the report is Joint OPerating Environment 2008 and "is fundamentally speculative in nature and is intended to serve as a starting point for discussions about the future security environment. The Joint Operating Environment is not meant to be a statement of policy.In the broadest sense, the Joint Operating Environment examines three questions:1. What future trends and disruptions are likely to affect the joint force over the next quarter century?2. How are these trends and disruptions likely to define the future contexts for joint operations?3. What are the implications of these trends and contexts for the joint force?By exploring these trends, contexts, and implications, the Joint Operating Environment provides a basis for thinking about the world a quarter of a century from now.
