1 Likewise in Nye (1967, 16, cited in Wynia 1970, 321): ‘What the federation did create was a political ideal that of Central American union that led to twenty-five attempted unifications […] and plays a subtle part in economic integration today’.

2 For details of this in Costa Rica, see Yashar (1997, 75 ff).

3 The agreement includes the five Central American states Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica plus the Dominican Republic. Technically it is called CAFTA-DR-USA, but everyone just calls it CAFTA (or TLC – Tratado de Libre Comercio in Spanish, which means free trade agreement (in general)).

4 There were 51.6 per cent in favour while 48.7 per cent were against. Of the potential voters, 59.2 per cent actually took part in the referendum, which led Huhn and Löding to conclude that about one third were for, one third against, and one third abstained (Huhn and Löding 2007, 2).

5 Apparently Nicaragua had suggested creating a fund of €600 million with 10 per cent financed by Central America and 90 per cent European loans. The foreign minister of Costa Rica, Bruno Stagno, was cited as calling the proposal ‘unrealistic’, and the newspaper el Heraldo wrote that Costa Rica judged that the proposal would bring all of Central America further into debt.

6 Concerning the differences in ‘production regime’, see OECD (2006).
