Professor Jain participated in the discussion, offering insights into his research and engaging directly with panelists.
The discussion highlighted the global relevance of Professor Jain’s work. While not specifically focused on Mexico, panelists emphasized that the analytical frameworks presented in the book are highly applicable to the Mexican context and resonate with broader international challenges.
