El Observatorio Global UDLAP (OGU) es una iniciativa sólida y necesaria para entender la complejidad del sistema internacional actual, especialmente considerando la relevancia estratégica de México en foros como APEC.
El OGU es un recurso valioso para monitorear temas apasionantes como la economía y la política globales y se consolida como un centro de análisis crítico coordinado por el Departamento de Relaciones Internacionales y Ciencia Política de la UDLAP.
El Observatorio cuenta con cuatro pilares fundamentales: APEC/PECC, Notas Internacionales, Organismos Internacionales y Think Tanks.
