Abstract

The concept of 'strategic dependence' is proposed as vital for analysis, description, and to some extent, explanation of Mexican-American relations, between 1979 to the year 2000. The main thesis is that we are not facing an energy crisis, but rather a crisis of the entire post-war order, based on the dynamics of what contemporary social science has called monopoly capitalism. Thus, within this crisis, the obvious dependence of the United States in relation to raw materials, and specifically Third World oil, serves as a catalytic agent in the restructuring of the global economic and diplo-military alliance system.
