FOOD SECURITY IN EL SALVADOR UNDER THE PERSPECTIVE OF OPEN REGIONALISM: THE FREE TRADE AGREEMENT (CAFTA)

The fight against hunger worldwide is a central objective of development to improve the quality of life. Ensuring access to adequate food is a complex issue that can and should be addressed from the perspective of International Relations. This article analyzes this issue from the phenomenon of the transnationalization of international relations and from the perspective of open regionalism in Central America, specifically through the Free Trade Agreement between the United States (US) and El Salvador, known as CAFTA-DR, which was signed in 2004 and entered into force in 2006.
