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.
