 <title>Video: Mexico: Elections and Prospects for Structural Reform - Panel 2</title>
 <link>http://csis.org/multimedia/video-mexico-elections-and-prospects-structural-reform-panel-2</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Panel 2: Post-Electoral Reform Challenges  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The race for Mexico&#039;s July 1 general election is heating up, and while the country&#039;s security situation remains a big concern among voters, public pressure is also mounting for new political leadership to tackle underemployment, poverty and inequality, none of which have been significantly reduced during the past decade.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Audio: Police Reform in Latin America: Implications for U.S. Policy (Panel Two)</title>
 <link>http://csis.org/multimedia/audio-police-reform-latin-america-implications-us-policy-panel-two</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Historically, U.S. assistance aimed at training and professionalizing foreign police forces has been episodic and controversial.  Episodic because of the type of training received has tended to match U.S. perceptions of the threat of the moment, and controversial because foreign law enforcement structures have had close ties with military institutions which do not match U.S.&lt;/p&gt;
