Our article discusses the trajectory of the Mexican economy from the crisis of external debt, in the early 1980s, reaching the NAFTA in 1994. We made the adjustments in the Mexican economy, particularly those perpetrated in government Salinas de Gortari, that the country falls to the demands the U.S. to accept the agreement, as well as the positive and negative effects of this process. The process of economic liberalization and industrialization of a strategy geared to exports have been intensified at the beginning of the 1990s. Thus, our purpose is to achieve a discussion about the economic plans of the 1980s that influenced the strategies of Mexican reintegration into the international economy, which had the NAFTA as one of the central pillars.
