The book progresses systematically, beginning with foundational concepts and theoretical frameworks necessary for understanding international trade. It then analyzes specific trade policies, like tariffs and subsidies, and the roles of organizations such as the WTO. Case studies from various countries and industries illustrate how trade policies impact economic development and international competitiveness.
Readers will discover how historical trade policies have evolved from mercantilism to modern globalization, and how factors like climate change and economic inequality influence trade systems today.
