%X in the context of the cold war in central america, the article focuses on the support granted by the mexican government of jos¨¦ l¨®pez portillo to the sandinista revolution in its confrontation with the somoza dictatorship. its objective is to determine the motivations and interests that drove the mexican post-revolutionary government to design an "active" foreign policy in the sub-region, which would, to a certain extent, jeopardize its unique and ever less satisfactory understanding with the united states. through this policy, the mexican authorities sought to shape mexico as a moderately string world power, thus reducing the ever present asymmetry in its bilateral relations with the united states.
