"As globalization redefines the field of corporate finance, international and domestic finance have become almost inseparably intertwined.

International Corporate Finance offers thorough coverage of the international monetary climate, including Islamic finance, Asian banking, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Additionally, the book offers keen insight on global capital markets, equity markets, and bond markets, as well as foreign exchange risk management and how to forecast exchange rates"--

From the Back Cover
Praise for International Corporate Finance
"Professor Jacque's textbook allies conceptual rigor with practical relevance drawn from multiple case studies. A highly recommended textbook to those who teach international finance at both the undergraduate and graduate levels." --GABRIEL HAWAWINI, the Henry Grunfeld Chaired Professor of Investment Banking and former Dean, INSEAD
"Professor Jacque's new text book serves as a right-sized, real-life manual of the complexity and adventure of international finance. Most importantly, it accomplishes this goal without short-cutting the relevant theoretical concepts underpinning the instruments of global finance. This book is compass, interactive study manual, theoretical reference guide, and last but not least, case-based financial adventure novel, all in one." --OLIVER S KRATZ, PhD, CEO of Global Thematic Partners
"In this book, Laurent Jacque does a superb job of combining modern concepts of international finance with a keen eye for their application in the context of the business firm and exceptional exposition that places a premium on capturing, simplifying and retaining what are sometimes complex relationships. It is a book that deserves to quickly become one of the leaders in its field." --INGO WALTER, Seymour Milstein Professor of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics, Stern School of Business, New York University
