Strategic importance of the cross-Atlantic partnership
In the global networked economy, where relationships are multi-lateral and dynamic, can a meaningful strategic partnership between two Nations be built? How will it be? Perhaps an amorphous, de facto, partnership based on common principles? Amorphous, because it will adapt as reality changes? De facto, because companies will implement it before it can even be defined on a broader level? Based on common principles because Mexico and Germany both bet on the same?

Discussion


 * Why are demographics important?
 * Will Germany and Mexico be closer in the future than most peole would expect?
 * Can the presence of German infrastructure companies in Mexico increase enabled by Cemex?
 * Can other firms do what Volkswagen has done?
 * How easy or difficult will it be for SMEs to emulate what the bigger have done?
 * Is this strategic? Is this important? Is this a partnership?
