Features: This book is a planned teaching material for higher vocational and technical colleges. It is suitable for teaching use in various majors that offer international trade courses at secondary vocational and technical schools, adult higher education institutions, secondary vocational and technical colleges organized by undergraduate universities, and private higher education institutions.

The book is divided into 16 chapters, covering two parts: International Trade Theory and International Trade Practice. The International Trade Theory part primarily introduces basic concepts of international trade, the emergence and development of international trade, international trade policies, international regional economic integration, world markets, international trade measures, international capital flows, the World Trade Organization, and international trade in technology and services. The International Trade Practice part primarily introduces methods of international trade, the process of international commodity transactions, international trade terms, international trade contracts, international transportation and insurance, collection and payment of international trade debts, and inspection, claims, and arbitration of international trade commodities. This book meets the needs of teaching reform in higher vocational and technical education. It effectively addresses the connection with other textbooks in international trade-related courses in terms of content selection. It is highly applicable, emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, and highlights the role of theory in analyzing practical problems. It also meets the needs of a new teaching approach that focuses on "competency-based education," where teachers provide concise lectures and students engage in extensive practice.
