Understanding the current state of affairs and tools available in the study of international finance is increasingly important as few areas in finance can be divorced completely from international issues. This chapter provides an introduction to international finance and discusses the purpose of the book as well as its key features and intended audience. It also differentiates the book from others in the field of international finance. The chapter then outlines the book's structure and provides an abstract of the remaining 27 chapters.
