Mexico in a Multipolar World: Public Opinion, Democracy, and Political Change

This opening keynote panel examines how changing global power relations are reshaping Mexico’s political choices, democratic development, and position within the international order. Bringing together two distinguished Mexican scholars and public figures, the session will connect geopolitical transformations with changes in public values, political participation, institutional trust, and attitudes toward democracy. The discussion will consider how Mexico’s position between North America and Latin America influences its responses to economic realignment, migration, security challenges, and diplomatic change. It will also address whether Mexican public opinion is becoming more nationally assertive, more politically polarized, or more open to alternative models of international cooperation. Drawing on extensive experience in scholarship, diplomacy, government, and public opinion research, the speakers will reflect on both continuity and change in Mexico’s democratic trajectory. Particular attention will be given to what survey research can reveal about citizens’ expectations of political institutions and leadership in an increasingly uncertain international environment. The panel will conclude by considering the wider implications of Mexico’s experience for democratic change in Latin America and the emerging multipolar world.

Session Chair:

Alejandro Moreno is Professor of Political Science at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), where he has taught since 1996. His research focuses on public opinion, political behavior, elections, comparative politics, and survey research methodology, and he is a Level III member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers.

Keynote Speakers:

Miguel Basáñez is a Mexican scholar, diplomat, and public opinion researcher whose work has focused extensively on cultural values, democracy, political change, and social development. He served as Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States and as President of the World Association for Public Opinion Research from 2001 to 2002.

Jorge G. Castañeda is Global Distinguished Professor of Politics and Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University. A prominent Mexican political scientist, author, and public intellectual, he served as Mexico’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs from 2000 to 2003 and has written extensively on Mexican politics, Latin America, democracy, and relations between Mexico and the United States.

Polling Under Pressure: Legal Restrictions and the Future of Public Opinion Research

Around the world, public opinion researchers face growing legal, political, and institutional constraints on their ability to collect, analyze, and publish survey data. This featured roundtable examines current restrictions on polling through cases from Colombia, Bolivia, Hong Kong, and the United States. Panelists will discuss regulations governing electoral polls, publication embargoes, licensing and registration requirements, political pressure, respondent and researcher safety, and broader threats to scientific independence. The session will consider how restrictions justified in the name of electoral integrity, public order, or data protection may affect transparency, methodological quality, and citizens’ access to reliable information. It will also examine the responsibilities of professional associations, research organizations, and international networks when polling institutions or individual researchers come under pressure. By bringing together researchers and professional leaders from different political and regulatory contexts, the roundtable will identify shared challenges as well as important national differences. The discussion will conclude by considering possible principles and collective responses for protecting the freedom to conduct and publish public opinion research.

Public Opinion Research and the Rise of Synthetic Media

AI is reshaping public opinion, both as an object of study and as a force acting on the research process itself: synthetic respondents, bot-driven data contamination, growing public skepticism toward research and institutions, and rising public anxiety over synthetic manipulation. Political images online are processed quickly, evoke emotion, and shape trust, interpretations of events, and perceptions of political opponents. Recent elections illustrate how fabricated or AI-generated visuals spread through ordinary sharing and encourage viewers to question political legitimacy. The same dynamics now extend to text and to new actors: AI-generated influencers have begun participating in electoral discourse, often without disclosure, raising open questions about transparency, regulation, and what counts as authentic political speech.

Earlier media systems relied on editorial gatekeepers. Today, algorithmic feeds circulate provocative visuals to mass audiences, while generative tools produce misleading imagery with unprecedented ease. Nearly one-third of U.S. adults now get news primarily from video-based platforms, yet research and policy still focus mostly on text, since visual data are harder to compare and analyze. Understanding how misleading and AI-generated images circulate and shape attitudes is essential for explaining polarization in the current media environment.

In this keynote, I want to problematize what this shift means for public opinion research. Drawing on ongoing work examining how synthetic and authentic imagery shape credibility, trust, and polarization, I will consider how our methods, built largely for a text-based, human-authored environment, may need to change, and what open questions remain for policy and practice.


Keynote Speaker

Ayşe D. Lokmanoğlu is Assistant Professor of Emerging Media Studies in the College of Communication and affiliated faculty in Computing and Data Science at Boston University, United States. A computational social scientist, she studies information integrity, misinformation, polarization, visual political communication, and the circulation of digital content across online platforms. She was named a 2026 Andrew Carnegie Fellow for her research on visual media, AI-generated images, polarization, and democratic resilience.

Session Chair

Olga Kamenchuk is Associate Research Professor at the Institute for Policy Research and Associate Professor of Instruction in the School of Communication at Northwestern University, United States. Her research focuses on political psychology, public opinion, information processing, international security, and political communication, particularly in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. She is also a Co-Principal Investigator of the Comparative National Elections Project.
