Features: The purpose of this book is to enable readers to understand the basic policies and measures in international trade, master the import and export business processes and the operational mechanisms of trade, and become familiar with national policies and regulations on import and export, service trade, and other aspects. Through studying this book, readers will not only grasp the fundamental theoretical knowledge of international trade but also develop strong operational and problem-solving skills, becoming high-quality talents with an international perspective and global strategic vision that meet the needs of China's socialist market economy. This book has the following distinctive features:
(1) Theoretical innovation. The concept of economic globalization was first proposed by economists in the United States in the mid-1980s. Since the 1990s, Western developed countries, led by the United States, have formulated new strategic trade policies, promoting the growth of multinational corporations. With the rapid expansion of overseas direct investment by multinational corporations, developing countries, especially China, have inevitably integrated into the global economy. This book incorporates both traditional theories of international trade and contemporary theoretical innovations, striving to provide a scientific judgment on globalization from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
(2) Content innovation. Previous domestic books on international trade have primarily focused on international goods trade, neglecting the service trade sector. This book adds relevant knowledge on service trade and its significant impact on China's service sector due to trade liberalization. Additionally, it explores new concepts and methods such as e-commerce, customs ATA Carnet systems, and environmental barriers in line with the latest trends in the development of international trade theory and practice.
(3) Format innovation. The book is designed to closely integrate theory with practice. Therefore, each chapter includes case discussions alongside the systematic introduction of theoretical knowledge. A substantial portion of these cases were written by the author after conducting extensive enterprise research, making them highly realistic and practical, highlighting the book's emphasis on practicality and timeliness. Each case has a unique background, offering valuable insights and inspiration for business managers, thereby enhancing their ability to solve real-world problems and benefiting both students and instructors.
