Summary: This book is a rigorous and accessible introduction to international economics. It stresses the role of economic theory in explaining international trade and finance. It is written in a non-mathematical yet rigorous style, and at every stage theory is related to the evidence about international economic behaviour. Stress is laid on the testing of theory and its applicability to economic policy making. There are many tables of statistics and results, and each chapter ends with a brief guide to the literature, which directs students to more specialised and advanced material. New material in the fourth edition includes trade and imperfect competition; world trade patterns; non-tariff protection; trade and development; strategic trade policy; 1992; the political economy of protection; exchange rate determination; the US balance of payments deficit and the debt crisis. This is in addition to a thorough analysis of the more traditional theories of: international trade; commercial policy; the balance of payments; exchange rates; multi-national companies; the demand for international reserves; the evolution of the international monetary system and the Euro-currency market.
