From the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth century the
European banking sector experienced countless mergers and
acquisitions. The outcome of this century of consolidation is
strikingly similar across the continent, with the banking sector of
each country now dominated by a handful of giant banking
corporations. Consolidation and concentration trends in banking was
the theme of the Academic Archive Colloquium of the European
Association for Banking History held in Madrid in June 1997. This
volume is comprised of the 18 papers and responses presented at the
Colloquium by a truly international group of delegates. Some of the
themes explored in the book include: the significance of mergers
for bank archives; the regulation of mergers and their impact on
banking legislation; reactions to consolidation from within and
without the banking industry; case studies of particular mergers
and their impact on the wider banking community. Youssef Cassis's
introductory chapter provides a general survey of trends in the
consolidation process and suggests that the advent of the Euro may
herald a new era in the history of European banking consolidation.
