Security of private property rights — formal recognition, expropriation risk, titling systems.
De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.
Mexico's accession to the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed 17 December 1992 and entering into force 1 January 1994, established progressive tariff elimination, investor-state dispute settlement via Chapter 11, harmonised rules of origin, and side accords on labour and environment with Canada and the United States. NAFTA locked Mexico's trade-liberalisation programme into an international treaty and triggered structural shifts in agriculture, manufacturing, and services investment.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
