- The book is aimed at
undergraduate students taking Level 2 or Level 3 courses in international economics. As
well as students specialising in economics, the book is likely to be of interest to
students on business studies, management, and social science programmes.
Massive changes took place
in the world economy in the last quarter of the twentieth century and the speed with which
markets in goods, services, and finance were liberalised has no historical precedent. This
brand new international economics text reflects recent developments in the world economy
as well as thoroughly covering the central components of an international economics
course, rooted in classical analysis and the doctrine of comparative advantage.
