Abstract

The outsourcing of business functions and services by firms in developed countries to suppliers in other countries has been a source of growing academic and political debate in the developed world, especially in the United States. An increasing body of literature has sought to identify the drivers behind offshore outsourcing and to assess its benefits and disadvantages (Bartels 2005, Outsourcing Institute 2005, Hölzl, Reinstaller and Windrum 2005). Most authors have focused on the implications for the home economy (e.g., Mann 2003, Schultze 2004, Garner 2004, Jensen and Kletzer 2005, NAPA 2006, ACM 2006). And the issue has also figured prominently in recent work of international institutions because of potential systemic implications (UNCTAD 2003a, 2004, WTO 2005, Bartels 2005, ILO 2006, OECD 2005b).
