One other area that is somewhat related to outsourcing is offshoring. Tom Friedman in his book, The World Is Flat, spoke about offshoring as s the relocation of a process from one country to another, typically an operational process, such as manufacturing, or supporting processes, such as accounting. Typically this refers to a company business, however governments may also employ offshoring. Offshoring can cause havoc in a company's domestic country since it is perceived to impact the domestic employment situation negatively.
If you have not read Friedman's book, I encourage you to buy it. You are living in the environment he speaks of. Here is a short summary of his classic : https://staff.washington.edu/rel2/geog100-UW/SUPPLEMENTARY/flat-world_summary.htm
