During the entire post-war period， the bilateral agreements and multilateral trade liberalization in the GATT/WTO have made the world economy ever more independent. Globalization is an accepted phenomenon of the 21st century. As goods and services increasingly move across international borders ever greater expertise is required to make such activity as smooth as possible.
However， one need only witness the recurring events of violent protest at meetings of organizations such as the World Economic Forum and the World Trade Organization to realize that a non-negligible part of civic society does not view the increasing internationalization and globalization with a positive attitude. Protesters are not simple bullies， but often well-educated people with a view of globalization and international economics quite different from that which is provided by the economics profession. Failure of World Trade Organization talks means that barriers and challenges to that free and smooth flow of trade remain. One sure way of overcoming obstacles is to be in possession of the right knowledge. At the same time， many text books offer advanced mathematical models and econometric studies on a perplexing plethora of topics within international economics， but fail to teach the basic lessons of the discipline. Undergraduates therefore may run the risk of passing exams without understanding finding a mental problem in the field. That is why this book is so important.
