    Center for Strategic and International Studies Report on DR November 15, 2013

    In a recent poll released by the Mexico City-based Mitofsky Consultants, Dominican Republic president Danilo Medina received the highest marks for a head-of-state in the Western Hemisphere, with an approval rating of 89 percent. Despite high levels of support for the president, signs are growing that Dominicans are growing frustrated with the current state of the nation. In particular, there is increasing unease over rising corruption and the Dominican Republic's growing role as a hub for the use and shipment of illegal narcotics. Concerns are also being raised of decreasing judicial independence and the political dominance of the ruling party in governing institutions. To understand these issues - as well as their potential impact on the Dominican Republic's relationship with the United States - the CSIS Americas Program led a six-month investigative effort to address the current state of the rule of law in the Dominican Republic - and where it is headed.
