Sawyer and Sprinkle is the International Economics text that is appropriate for the broadest range of students: economics majors, business majors, international relations and other nonbusiness students. Its approach reinforces the tools students have learned (principles level information), and relieves instructors of trying to teach international economics while also teaching a set of tools with which students are unfamiliar.
