International Trade Theory and Policy is a masterful exposition of the core ideas of international trade. The book updates the classic monograph of Professor Gandolfo and is now the single most comprehensive and up-to-date book in the field. I highly recommend it for advanced undergraduates, PhD students, and professional economists. Even specialists in international trade will find new insights.

This new edition of International Trade Theory and Policy continues the fine tradition set by Giancarlo Gandolfo with his first edition. This is a comprehensive and up to date textbook ideal for both undergraduate and graduate trade courses. This new edition includes the latest on globalization, economic geography as well as a trade integration and wage inequality. It is an essential addition to any academics bookshelf and an important reference in any quality international trade course.
