Miguel Ángel Vargas Mejía is a lawyer specializing in international trade and maquiladoras, known for his insights into the complexities of export diversification in Mexico. He emphasizes the challenges faced by maquiladoras—especially those near the U.S. border—that often operate as subsidiaries of American companies, limiting their ability to pursue new markets.
