Introduction
This unit provides you with an introduction to a wide range of issues related to international trade and international economics. We investigate why nations trade, what they trade and who gains from this trade. We then analyse the motives for countries and organisations to restrict and regulate international trade and study the impacts of such policies on economic welfare. The unit also covers selected topics in international macroeconomics. There is also opportunity to explore selected contemporary trade issues including globalisation, sustainability and the environment and distributional impacts of trade.
