The Handbook of International Trade is both a "textbook" for students and a handbook for practitioners. The book provides a thorough understanding of the underlying issues involved in developing and managing cross-border trade. Opening with a description of the structure of the global economy and the dynamics governing world trade, the book then provides a comprehensive guide to the practice of export trade - the methods, procedures, conventions, documentation and laws. Finally there is a section looking at the prospects and likely future development of global trade.
