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.
