| description | This article reconstructs Mexican politics in the period leading up to the crisis that ended with the U.S.-backed coup against Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz in June 1954, questioning the two general assumptions that guide academic research into Mexican foreign policy in the second half of the 20th Century: first, that foreign policy is a source of national consensus; and second, that there is a special relationship between the United States and Mexico in which the two countries agree to disagree in questions of international politics to the extent that their respective strategic interests are not at stake. The Guatemalan crisis disproves both assumptions. Firstly, it ended the divide between Cardenism and anti-Cardenism that had been the axis around which Mexico’s political contradictions had revolved since the 1930s; and secondly, during the final moments of the Guatemalan crisis, President Ruiz Cortines cooperated with Washington in the struggle to eliminate communist influence from the hemisphere and adopted the measures that had been requested of him. The understood values between Mexico and the United States did not intervene in this case, in other words. This episode makes clear the ideological alliance between the two countries and sets the stage for the mobilizations in solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. |

A partir de la reconstrucción de la política mexicana hacia la crisis que provocó la caída del presidente guatemalteco Jacobo Arbenz, en junio de 1954 con el patrocinio de Estados Unidos, este artículo cuestiona los dos presupuestos generales en que se apoya la investigación académica sobre la política exterior mexicana de la segunda mitad del siglo XX: primero, que la política exterior es una fuente de consenso nacional; y segundo, que entre Estados Unidos y México existe una relación especial, que consiste en “un acuerdo para discrepar” en temas de política internacional, siempre y cuando no estén en juego sus respectivos intereses estratégicos.La crisis guatemalteca desmiente ambos presupuestos. Primero, removió la fractura cardenismo/anticardenismo que desde finales de los años treinta era el eje ordenador de las preferencias y de las contradicciones políticas de los mexicanos; y, segundo, en los momentos finales de la crisis guatemalteca, el presidente Ruiz Cortines cooperó con Washington, en la lucha por extirpar la influencia comunista del hemisferio, y adoptó las medidas que le habían sido solicitadas. Es decir, en este caso, no intervinieron los valores entendidos entre México y Estados Unidos. Este episodio puso al descubierto la alianza ideológica entre los dos países, dejó encendidos los motores de las movilizaciones de apoyo a la revolución cubana.
