Features: This book is a comprehensive textbook that focuses on the operational mechanisms of international trade, introducing theories, policies, and post-World War II developments in international trade. The book is divided into three parts and nineteen chapters. Part I covers international trade theory, introducing traditional international trade theories, various "new" international trade theories that emerged after the war, and trade issues with the introduction of factor mobility. Part II focuses on international trade policy, discussing internationally recognized trade measures, different perspectives on trade policy, and partial and general equilibrium analyses of trade policy. It also delves into the trade policies of developing and developed countries in more detail, and concludes with an introduction to the international mechanism for post-war coordinated policies—the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Part III explores post-war international trade issues, covering the status of commodity and service trade, regional economic integration, and trade challenges faced by developing countries after the war, with a particular focus on trade reforms in developing countries. This revision includes additions and deletions in chapters such as Chapter 2, Chapter 5, Chapter 9, and Chapter 14. This book is suitable for students and faculty in economics, management, world economy, and international trade at universities, as well as a broad range of foreign trade professionals.
