Fieldwork was conducted on
JCGC, which is located within the grasslands and scrublands of northwestern Chihuahua (around 30[degrees]500N, 108[degrees]25'W) approximately 50 km south of the Mexico-United States border (Ceballos et al., 1999).
The two countries have also enhanced sharing of governance experiences between our two ruling parties, resumed a series of bilateral dialogue and cooperation mechanisms covering foreign affairs, defense, economy and trade, established the Bilateral Consultation Mechanism on the South China Sea (BCM), and launched the Joint Coast Guard Committee on Maritime Cooperation (
JCGC).
