Review:
'This is a very well written text with the right balance between analytical models, descriptive material and historical perspective. - ‘Walther Vanthielen, Professor of Economics, Limburgs University, Belgium.’

'The study of international economics is important now more than ever as economies become more open and capital flows tie economies together more closely than in any period of our history. The objectives of a textbook, then, are to achieve the right level, the coverage of the core topics, sound arguments and relevance to the real world. This is a difficult task to do but Dunn and Mutti have come close to doing it in their new 6th edition of International Economics.' - ‘Ronald Shone, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Stirling, UK.’
