The subject matter of international trade is currently one of great sophistication and complexity owing to the phenomenal development of all kinds of international commercial operations since World War II. Thus the student has to identify the various structures and processes of the vast and numerous international trading activities currently going on, with their significant effect on society at large.
The classification of these processes and their meaning and justification, with special reference to the import/export processes are a major contribution to the student's progress of assimilation and subsequent professional career in this field.
