New Century's Dictionary of International Trade and Business

This dictionary defines, concisely and without unduly specialized language, some 800 terms associated with theoretical and practical aspects of international trade and business. It includes concepts and ideas from academics and terms, paradigms, and phrases associated with such international financial institutions as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization. The entries are cross-referenced and typically only run to a sentence or two. Included after the main entries is a glossary of terms related to the IMF, as well as appendixes providing information on post-1991 external sector reforms in India, national currencies of 160 countries of the world, three-digit standard international trade classifications, trade-related abbreviations and acronyms, and technical abbreviations used in trade.
