Now that Mexico's government has a new president and the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) is back in power, where is the country headed?  Is it still on a reform and modernization track?  Or is it poised to return to habits of the old PRI?

President Enrique Peña Nieto has already made waves appointing a foreigner as a security adviser, announcing his intention to open Pemex to foreign investment, and launching a broadside against Mexico's powerful teachers' union.  Still, there are subtle signs in appointments and policy statements that old ways are not forgotten.

Four Mexico experts and keen observers give us a preview of what to expect.
