Features: This book is newly compiled based on the framework of "Introduction to International Economic Law" edited by Professor Dong Shizhong (Fudan University Press, 1997 edition), incorporating recent developments in the field of international economic law, summarizing years of teaching experience, and fully absorbing relevant research achievements from both domestic and international sources. The book is divided into five parts and fifteen chapters: Basic Theories of International Economic Law, the World Trade System in Global Economic Integration, the International Financial System, the International Investment System, and Regional Economic Integration. The section on basic theories elaborates on the concept and discipline of international economic law, providing guidance for learning international economic law. The book systematically discusses relevant international treaty law from three aspects—trade, finance, and investment—especially the legal framework of the World Trade Organization, laying a foundation for readers to further study international trade law, international financial law, and international investment law. Additionally, the book briefly reviews regional economic integration law, represented by the laws of the European Union and the North American Free Trade Agreement. This book can serve as a teaching material for undergraduate and graduate law programs in universities and colleges that offer courses on international economic law, as well as a reference book for postgraduate courses or for professionals engaged in international trade and economic activities.
