International Trade

In the global economy trade is divided into two; domestic trade which is trade within the borders of a country and international trade which answers the question of trading across the borders. Trading across the borders combines issues of international law, national law, the world market economy and many others differentiating it from regular trade encounters. The main reason for the development of international trade is globalization and the constant mutation of the world towards a global village. This geographically define trade has necessitated the training of experts who master business transactions round the globe; experts who are not limited by international borders.
