The value-related aspect in the Mexico's foreign policy doctrins and its role during different historical periods

Mexico's foreign policy has gone through a long period of conceptual development, and several doctrines have paved the way of the country's foreign policy. These principles formulated at various turning points remain viable, continue to influence political decision-making,  impact on the rhetoric of state leaders, set the pace in bilateral relations, and also allow to defend its own position in the assessment of the unfolding regional and global processes.

The issue will present an analysis of the three main doctrines: the Juarez Doctrine (1860) formulated in the context of opposition to interventionism establishes the principle of non-intervention; the Carrasa Doctrine (1918) developed the previously established position; the Genaro Estrada Doctrine (1930) is the most famous and affirms as inviolable the principle of a free determination by nations of their government.

The study is aimed at identifying the main principles  of the key investigated doctrines that have filled a slot of unshakable values in the Mexican political consciousness and continue to take place in the political discourse of the country's top officials. A narrower task of analysing the evolution of the attributed importance of the highlighted principles throughout different periods also seems important. 

According to the framework of the topic it is essential to apply a historical approach that sheds light on the changing historical context in which the outlined guidelines formed and on which they subsequently lay. A comparative method allows to uderstand the essential features of each document under study.

Many experts believe the established principles of Mexico's foreign policy are close to those enshrined in international law and serve as preconditions for building a dialogue based on mutual respect and sovereign equality of states.
