In particular, this text shows how, during the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, a series of factors created the first opportunity for a possible rapprochement between the two countries since the beginning of the Cold War in 1947. At the same time, this article shows how Mexico’s strong economic dependence on the United States, the context of Cold War polarization and Soviet difficulties in projecting their economic influence in the region finally dissuaded the López Mateos administration from consolidating its rapprochement with the USSR.Basado en documentación inédita procedente tanto de archivos de la ex Unión Soviética, como de Estados Unidos y, en menor medida, de México, este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el proceso de acercamiento entre México y la URSS, entre 1959 y 1962. En particular, este texto mostrará cómo, entre el final de la década de 1950 y el principio de los años sesenta, una serie de factores crearon por primera vez desde el comienzo del conflicto bipolar en 1947 las condiciones para un posible acercamiento entre los dos países. Al mismo tiempo, el trabajo mostrará que la fuerte dependencia comercial mexicana de Estados Unidos, el contexto de polarización de la Guerra Fría y las dificultades soviéticas en proyectar su influencia económica en la región disuadieron, en última instancia, la administración de López Mateos de concretar el posible acercamiento con la URSS.El Colegio de México, A.C.2016-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/xmlhttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/334710.24201/hm.v66i2.3347Historia Mexicana; Vol. 66, Núm. 2 (262) octubre-diciembre 2016; 793-8522448-65310185-0172reponame:Historia Mexicanainstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/3347/3148https://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/3347/3319Derechos de autor 2016 Historia Mexicanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.historiamexicana.colmex.mx:article/33472024-08-16T21:55:30Z
