Features: This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental principles of international trade theory and international trade policy. The international trade theory includes classical trade theory, neoclassical trade theory, contemporary trade theory, as well as the dynamic patterns of international trade under the context of economic growth and cross-border factor flows. The international trade policy covers the analysis of the effects of trade policy tools, the rationale for trade protection, the political economy of trade policy, as well as the theory and practice of trade liberalization and regional economic cooperation. This textbook is primarily intended for the teaching of the international trade economics section of the international economics course for undergraduate economics students, as well as for introductory international economics or international trade courses in various continuing education programs. To enable readers to clearly grasp the main ideas of international trade economics, while also constrained by its length, the textbook only introduces and discusses mainstream, mature trade theories or viewpoints. A distinctive feature of this textbook is its close integration with China's trade practices, allowing readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of China's status, role, and mechanisms in the field of international trade while studying trade theory and policy analysis.
