Summary:

"This book offers an overall presentation of the economic knowledge that we have today about the causes and effects of international trade and international investments. These questions have been central in economic science since the appearance of modern economics with Adam Smith in the second half of the 18th century. During the last 20-30 years much has happened within the area, so today one can talk about a traditional theory and a newer theory building, although quite differentiated."
