Nexos (magazine) is a Mexican monthly publication focusing on cultural, political, and intellectual analysis with an emphasis on public affairs, history, and social issues. Founded in 1978, it has engaged debates involving figures and institutions across Latin America and Europe, fostering dialogue among scholars, journalists, and policymakers. The magazine has been associated with liberal humanist currents and has played a role in discussions connected to media, academia, and civil society.
Nexos was established in 1978 amid global debates following events such as the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, the Spanish transition to democracy, and ongoing reflections on the Cold War, attracting contributors influenced by intellectual currents linked to the Princeton University, the Colegio de México, and the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Early editorial collaborations connected the magazine to networks including the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Mexican cultural institutions like the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia and the Secretaría de Cultura (Mexico). During the 1980s and 1990s Nexos commented on issues related to the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Zapatista uprising, and Mexican presidential administrations such as those of Miguel de la Madrid, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, and Ernesto Zedillo. In the 2000s it engaged debates around the presidencies of Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderón, and Enrique Peña Nieto, while addressing international matters involving the European Union, the Organization of American States, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
Nexos presents a broadly liberal humanist editorial line informed by traditions associated with the Encyclopédie, the Princeton School, and Latin American intellectuals linked to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the Universidad Iberoamericana. Its ideological stance often aligns with defenders of democratic institutions such as the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (Mexico), advocates for human rights institutions like the Comisión Nacional de los Derechos Humanos, and critics of authoritarian trends exemplified by regimes compared to the Pinochet dictatorship or the Castro regime. The magazine situates debates within frameworks influenced by thinkers connected to the Harvard University, Yale University, and the London School of Economics, while engaging Mexican policy debates over fiscal reforms tied to measures inspired by discussions in the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Over decades Nexos has published work by intellectuals associated with the Colegio de México, the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, and international scholars from institutions like the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and the University of Oxford. Prominent contributors and editors have included historians, journalists, and public intellectuals linked to names such as Enrique Krauze, critics connected to the Revista de Occidente, legal scholars tied to the Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas, and cultural figures related to the Teatro de los Insurgentes and the Museo Nacional de Antropología. Regular contributors often have affiliations with institutions including the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, the Universidad Iberoamericana, and international centres such as the Wilson Center and the Brookings Institution.
Nexos publishes essays, investigative reports, historiographical analyses, and cultural criticism that reference events such as the Mexican Revolution, the Cristero War, and the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, and institutions like the Instituto Politécnico Nacional and the Secretaría de Gobernación (Mexico). Regular sections cover book reviews engaging works from publishers like Siglo XXI Editores and Editorial Planeta, interviews with figures linked to the Academia Mexicana de la Lengua and the Real Academia Española, and dossiers on topics related to the Pacto Federal, migration debates involving the United States, the Caribbean, and the Central American region. Cultural pages critique cinema tied to festivals such as the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, and literary criticism often references authors associated with the Latin American Boom and prizes like the Premio Cervantes.
Nexos has influenced debates among policy circles connected to the Chamber of Deputies (Mexico), the Senate of the Republic (Mexico), and civil society organizations including the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes and the Centro Prodh. Academics from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and the Colegio de México cite its essays, while journalists at outlets such as El Universal, La Jornada, and Reforma engage with its commentary. Internationally, its analyses have been referenced in discussions in forums like the United Nations General Assembly, the Organization of American States, and by think tanks including the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Inter-American Dialogue.
Nexos has faced criticism from political movements and media outlets such as La Jornada and commentators aligned with parties like the Party of the Democratic Revolution and the National Regeneration Movement, particularly over positions on administrations of Andrés Manuel López Obrador and prior governments. Debates have centered on alleged biases compared with stances promoted by outlets like Proceso and Excélsior, leading to polemics involving intellectuals tied to the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana and activists associated with organizations such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Legal disputes and public exchanges have involved figures associated with the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (Mexico), the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary, and press freedom advocates linked to Article 19.
