| Abstract from DBPedia | International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories because there is a need or want of goods or services. (see: World economy) In most countries, such trade represents a significant share of gross domestic product (GDP). While international trade has existed throughout history (for example Uttarapatha, Silk Road, Amber Road, scramble for Africa, Atlantic slave trade, salt roads), its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries. Carrying out trade at an international level is a complex process when compared to domestic trade. When trade takes place between two or more states factors like currency, government policies, economy, judicial system, laws, and markets influence trade. To ease and justify the process of trade between countries of different economic standing in the modern era, some international economic organizations were formed, such as the World Trade Organization. These organizations work towards the facilitation and growth of international trade. Statistical services of intergovernmental and supranational organizations and governmental statistical agencies publish official statistics on international trade.貿易（ぼうえき、英: international trade、英: trade）とは、ある国（またはそれに準ずる地域）と別の国（同）との間で行なわれる商品の売買。商品を外国に対して送り出す取引を輸出、外国から導入する取引を輸入という。通常は、形のある商品（財貨）の取引を指すが、サービス貿易や技術貿易のように無形物の取引を含める場合もある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/International_trade) |
