International Economics: A European Focus

By Barbara Ingham

This new international economics text reflects the unprecedented changes which have occurred in the world economy over the past quarter century. Rooted in classical analysis and the doctrine of comparative advantage, the book covers the central components of an international economics course in a stimulating and student-friendly way.

This introductory, concise and non-technical approach to international economics deals with issues in the international environment which are of relevance to UK/European students, relating international economics to the European experience wherever it is appropriate to do so.

Key Features

• Takes a European perspective and focuses on the issues which will affect the whole of Europe - transition economies, economic integration, WTO, etc.
• An emphasis throughout on the dynamics of trade.
• A comprehensive treatment of trade policy, including the political economy of trade protection, social objectives, fair trade, and the role of the WTO.
• Clear and simple models of exchange rate determination.
• Explanations of first, second and third generation models of currency crises, as well as the potential role of ‘early warning systems’ and ‘safety zones’.
• Full discussion of the principles of economic management in the euroarea.
• A strong emphasis on the political and international relations context in which trade takes place.
• Many case studies from the Financial Times.
• An optional geometric appendix introduces students to the offer curve, the box diagram and the contract curve.
