Books for understanding international trade/balances

So I’m almost 6 months into my first year as an analyst at a commodities firm. I have an opportunity where I can become more involved on the team that tracks more trade flows and how they affect everything. 
 

Before I do that, are there any books, research papers or whatnot that can help me learn more about it? I know the basics from my international econ classes but I’m interested in going deeper to understand what drives it and what it all means. Right now I’ve been handling the reports from ship data that I generate but I still dont really  feel like I can draw meaningful stats from it.  Thanks ahead of time for any guidance.
