Features: The International Finance textbook, since its publication in 1999, has been widely adopted domestically and won the First Prize of the Ministry of Education's Outstanding Teaching Material Award (2002).

Based on several years of teaching practice, this updated and revised edition reflects the new progress made by the authors in exploring the modern international finance discipline system and teaching plans.

The first part introduces the basic knowledge of the internal and external balance problem; the second part explains why open economies face internal and external balance issues during operation; the third part discusses how a country can solve internal and external balance problems through policy coordination; and the fourth part covers international coordination for achieving internal and external balance. This textbook emphasizes introducing the latest fundamental knowledge and theories in international finance, emphasizing the application of modern economic analysis methods, and is structured progressively, making it suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for adult self-study or as a training textbook for cadres.
