Paradigm Shifts and Mexico as a Rising Middle Power with Rubén Beltrán and Jorge Lomónaco

In this episode of Lawyering Peace, Dr. Paul Williams sits down with two prominent former senior Mexican diplomats, Ambassador Rubén Beltrán and Ambassador Jorge Lomónaco, to examine Mexico's place in the shifting global order and the difficult choices it faces as a rising middle power caught between geography, history, and a transforming international system.

They discuss why Mexico sits between a rock and a hard place in its relationship with the United States, how Latin America's deep fragmentation limits Mexico's regional ambitions, and whether the window for meaningful diversification is already closing or just beginning to open.
