Summary

A principles-level introduction to international economics-accessible to all majors. International Economicsuses a rich array of case studies to illuminate economic institutions and policies as well as recent developments in the global economy-without students having to rely on a prerequisite knowledge of higher-level math. Further, the text's flexible approach-with self-contained chapters and comprehensive coverage-allows instructors to adapt the text easily to a wide range of syllabi. The fifth edition preserves the organization and coverage of the fourth edition and adds a number of updates and enhancements.
