Reading List International Economics

There is no single textbook that covers all the material of this course:

PART 1 The Theory and Practice of International Trade and Protection

Most of the material is well covered in Salvatore and also Soderston and Reed which is a bit more theoretical and harder to follow. I strongly advise you to use more than one of these.
