Running Head: UNIT V ESSAY
UNIT V ESSAY
Unit V Essay
Mexico
Mexico is a country situated in Southern America and it has one
of the largest Spanish speaking populations in the world. It has
a population of 122 million people with a GDP per capita of
$10,000. It is therefore regarded as an upper middle income
country which is substantiated by its $1.26 trillion GDP. It is
therefore the 15th largest economy in the world and is ranked
11th due to its level of purchasing power parity. The country
has a high degree of economic disparity while a large
percentage of its GDP originates from the informal economy.
Public debt accounts for nearly half of the GDP. The
government of Mexico has been considered as one of the most
corrupt governments in the world. Thus, the GDP of the country
has suffered and most recently has experienced a 9% GDP hit in
2014 (Chong & Wantchekon, 2014).
Corruption has compromised the competitive nature of the
country. First, due to the country’s geographical location, it has
been a hub for organized crimes and drug trafficking. Due to the
high levels of corruption, the police agencies have been unable
to nab the drug cartels. This has contributed to high levels of
insecurity in the area that poses as a threat to the locals, tourists
and investors. The other effect of corruption is from
government agencies requiring bribes from investors before
issuing them with a business license. This contributes to the
harsh business conditions faced by investors. In the judiciary
system, corruption shows its ugly face as well since only 20 %
of the cases obtain a guilty verdict since the judge’s integrity
has been exchanged for money (Paras, 2013). This rot has
contributed to lack of faith in the rule of law and has posed a
threat to many international companies setting shop in the
country.
Solution
It would be helpful if the country through the help of its
government officials reformed the institutions that given the
country. This would mean the creation and development of clear
cut policies which when implemented give clear guidelines
regarding what should be followed by a government official
when faced with certain circumstances. This should be followed
up by an integrity policy for which government officials are
bound to follow failure to which they lose their position in
office. In this way, the institutionalized reforms will be able to
be carried out even after a government official leaves office.
The integrity policy will ensure that the politicians are clean
before and after office. They themselves will have an obligation
to refrain from corrupt acts and will instigate harsh reprimands
for their subordinates who do not follow suit. In this way, the
country will be able to conduct is operations in a corrupt free
manner (Olivia, 2015).
Conclusion
Globalization has increased the need for counties to increase
competitiveness. For Mexico, corruption has become a threat to
this required level of competitiveness. It is through institutional
reforms and a mandatory integrity policy for government
officials which will ensure that there are sufficient checks and
balances that prevent such misbehavior. It would also be
necessary for the public to be sensitized on the harmful
consequences of them engaging in corrupt activities either
through the receipt and giving out of a bribe. In this way,
corruption will not only be dealt with from an institutional front
but also in a personal way.

updates based on professor’s concerns. Thanks.
Feedback to Learner3/3/17 4:07 PM
Good work on the first draft. The introduction is not clear and I
do not see a succinct thesis statement. Also, did you read Paras'
dissertation? The other two sources are great. Overall, tighten
up the arguments and perhaps offer another solution, one that is
specific.
