The signature of the memorandum took place at the Vicente Fox Center of Studies, an organization founded by Fox and based near the former president’s ranch in Guanajuato, in Mexico, where the research program was then to be carried out.9 The studies were to be published jointly by the Fox Center and RAND, while the two organizations were to run common seminars, conferences, and international forums together, in order to “promote democracy, leadership, transparency, gender equality and strategies to fight poverty.”10]
