Features: In today's context of economic globalization, international economics is no longer a course exclusive to economics majors. The demand for knowledge in international economics comes largely from students of non-economics disciplines, including business students, MBA students, students of international or regional relations, as well as political and public administration majors. However, most previous international economics textbooks were written for economics majors, which clearly no longer meets the needs of the diverse student body in international economics. Moreover, many students studying international economics do so with the goal of achieving better career prospects in the future. This means that students not only need to learn the international economics theories they will encounter in their future careers but also need to learn how to apply these theories to advance their careers. Given this, this book focuses on explaining the application of fundamental theories of international economics to practical international economic issues, rather than being overly theoretical like other textbooks. The main features of this book include:
- It is suitable for students from a wider range of disciplines, including business students, international relations majors, public administration majors, etc.
- It clarifies the basic theories and analytical tools of international economics, emphasizing how to apply these theories and tools in practical work.
- It provides abundant sources of data, whether through traditional means or the internet.
- It highlights the analysis of key issues in contemporary international economics, such as intra-industry trade, factor flows, tariff and non-tariff trade policies, the relationship between the current account and capital account, fixed exchange rate systems, and flexible exchange rate systems.
