Abstract
This article’s main objective is to document the change in the Mexican government’s dominant, accepted view of lobbying in the U.S., which went from refusing to use it, following the principle of non-intervention, to its institutionalization and constant use as pressure strategies. Mexican lobbying in Washington was an old but discreet Mexican foreign policy practice until 1990; that was when it began to be used and openly institutionalized when it became necessary to influence certain decisions of our northern neighbor that affected Mexico. In conclusion, Salinas’s administration began this change in Mexican foreign policy; Vicente Fox publicly acknowledged the need for it; and Felipe Calderon continued and even consolidated it.
