With the economy in recession—reeling from a peso devaluation, rising inflation, and soaring interest rates—Zedillo continued Salinas's free-market economic policies, which ultimately resulted in sustained economic growth. Regarded as hardworking and honest (despite charges of corruption that surfaced in 1996), Zedillo sponsored reforms to share governmental power with the congress, the judiciary, and the states in a country with a long tradition of placing absolute control in the hands of the president. He also worked for closer cooperation with the United States. A 1996 agreement to reduce PRI control over the political process led to elections in 1997 in which the party lost control of the lower house of congress for the first time and, ultimately, the loss of the presidency in 2000. Zedillo was less successful in his efforts to reduce crime, and his administration was plagued by a number of scandals. He became head of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization in 2002.
