The Decision Advantage - RANE Series

On June 2, Mexicans will head to the polls to elect a new president, all 128 seats in the senate, and all 500 positions in the Chamber of Deputies. Additionally, 8 states and Mexico City, will choose governors. All said, over 20,000 positions will be up for grabs, making the election Mexico’s largest in history. The ruling Morena party will seek to consolidate its political power by winning two straight presidential elections, while the three traditional parties in Mexico have created an electoral coalition in an effort to wrest power from the popular political movement. In this episode of Essential Geopolitics, RANE’s Latin America Analyst Sam Carletta provides an overview of what we should expect from these elections.

In recent weeks China has launched a series of initiatives that alter the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. First, China altered a civilian flight path to come mere kilometers next to the median line, the de facto dividing line between the entities, and added two more flights along a similar trajectory. Second, China's coast guard announced it will make full use of its legal jurisdiction around the Taiwanese islands of Kinmen. These developments carry implications for both Taiwan's airspace and territorial waters. Nate Fischler, RANE’s Asia-Pacific Analyst, shares his insights into the implications of these initiatives.
