Features: As a discipline, International Trade Studies focuses on the exchange activities of goods and services between different customs zones, i.e., different countries or regions, each with its own economic interests. By studying the emergence, development, and distribution of trade benefits in these exchanges, it reveals the characteristics and patterns of such activities. This book is the main textbook for Shanghai University of Finance and Economics's premium course, "International Trade Studies." Based on the experiences and shortcomings of the "Newly Revised International Trade Tutorial" published by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 1999, and reflecting the recent developments in the field of international trade, this textbook has incorporated new concepts and analytical methods proposed in the latest international textbooks and writings. After the authors thoroughly assimilated these materials and redesigned the chapter structure, the book was meticulously compiled. The specific content of this textbook includes: Introduction, Ricardo's Theory of Comparative Advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin Factor Endowment Theory, Modern Free Trade Theory, Protectionist Trade Theory, International Trade Policy, Economic Impact Analysis of Trade Policy, Exchange Rate Policy and Balance of Payments, Multinational Corporations and International Direct Investment Policy, World Trade Organization, International Trade in Services, International Economic and Technological Cooperation, Regional Economic Integration, and the Characteristics and Challenges of Contemporary International Trade. As a premium course textbook for Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, this book will be accompanied by "International Trade Learning Exercises and Case Studies" and supported by online course materials.
