About

Examining the realities of the modern global economy.
 
International Economics uses engaging applications to provide a modern view of the global economy for today’s students. It combines theoretical coverage with empirical evidence throughout, while reflecting the realities of the global economy by covering emerging markets and developing countries (India, China, Southeast Asia). The new edition has been thoroughly updated to include new data and Applications, as well as many new Headlines to reflect the rapid changes in international economics during the last three years. It draws you in with real world situations including the latest on opening relations with Cuba, immigration and Europe’s refugee crisis, the effect of NAFTA on wages and employment, quicksourcing, and the debate in Britain about leaving the European Union. A modern textbook needs a modern and integrated homework system, and LaunchPad offers you acclaimed content organized to provide you with enhanced learning and maximum preparation for the classroom.
