Outsourcing

CAFTA Nations
• Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, every DR-CAFTA country except Costa Rica was ruled by a dictator, was in a state of civil conflict, or both. These countries suffered from great political instability. Their economies focused inward, and protectionist policies perpetuated widespread poverty.

Agree or Disagree? Why or why not?• As living standards rise and people enjoy better lives,
their interest in preserving these benefits also increases. Because they have more to lose from a crisis, they strive to preserve peace and stability. As a result, the likelihood of civil conflict decreases. At the same time, the improved domestic situation reduces the incentives to leave home in search of a better life elsewhere. Therefore, they are less likely to emigrate illegally to other, more prosperous countries like the United States.
