Description: During a period of trade liberalization (1985-89), when Mexican manufacturing experienced an important inflow of foreign direct investment, manufacturing sectors with heavy foreign direct investment received greater protection in import-competing sectors.  With the move toward greater openness, the influence of industrial and foreign-investor lobbying on policy formation was reduced.
