This important new volume addresses the many aspects of banking in
European market economies in the twentieth century, making
innovative and authoritative research available to historians,
economists, financiers and business analysts. The distinguished
group of authors examines the historic role of banks in utilizing
domestic and foreign financial resources. Their contributions show
that from the 1880s onwards banks became an integral part of the
capital market in continental Europe. In the course of this
development the banks played a crucial part in financing industry
in North and Central Europe. This symbiotic relationship between
banks and industry is analysed and is shown to have had a decisive
impact on the inflation and crisis-prone interwar period. The
comparative and quantitative methods applied in these papers reveal
differences between the countries of North and Central Europe,
especially with regard to the degree of state intervention in
individual economies. Other topics discussed include the networks
of interlocking directorships, the effectiveness of banking
legislation and the impact of the national question on banking in
central and Southeast Europe. Universal Banking in the Twentieth
Century illustrates both striking similarities and marked
differences in the role of universal banking across Europe in terms
of the level of industrialization and the pace of economic growth.

First published in 1998, The European Yearbook of Business History
publishes research and review articles in English on the history of
private enterprises based in individual European countries as well
as studies of transnational corporations. It also includes work on
public and state corporations. Its scope is all of Europe, not
merely the countries of the European Union, and its prime, but not
exclusive, period of interest is the 19th and 20th centuries. The
first issue includes reviews of the present state and future
prospects of business history in most European countries, together
with articles summarising current Japanese and American
perspectives on the history of European industrial and commercial
enterprises.
First published in 1999, this volume aims to reflect on the
changing structure, experience and aspirations of European business
as it approaches the Millennium, including chapters in issues
including business scandals in the Weimar Republic, the evolution
of management consultancies in Portugal and Spain and the British
Public Sector. The yearbook exploits these changes by serving as a
forum for debate in Europe and aims to bring work on individual
countries to a wider, European audience. Responding to the
challenge of globalization, cooperation within a single European
market and an increasing interest in corporate governance and
environmental issues, the yearbook broadens to include
socio-political issues along with stimulating new types of
scholarship among European business historians and new preservation
strategies by business archivists.

For the past two centuries, brewing has been a constantly
innovative and evolving industry, subject to changes in technology,
taste and industrial structure. This ground-breaking book is one of
the first to examine the industry from the perspectives of economic
and business history. It combines chapters on the major European
nations with chapters on the United States and Australia.
Commissioned by the Cabinet Office and using hitherto untapped
British Government records, this book presents an in-depth analysis
of the successful project of 1986-94.
This is a vivid portrayal of the complexities of quadripartite
decision-making (two countries, plus the public and private
sectors), revealing new insights into the role of the British and
French Governments in the process. This important book, written by
Britain's leading transport historian, will be essential reading
for all those interested in PPPs, British and European economic
history and international relations.
The building of the Channel Tunnel has been one of Europe's major
projects and a testimony to British-French and public-private
sector collaboration. However, Eurotunnels current financial crisis
provides a sobering backcloth for an examination of British
Governments long-term flirtation with the project, and, in
particular, the earlier Tunnel project in the 1960s and early
1970s, which was abandoned by the British Government in 1975.

This book reflects an increased interest in establishing
connections between the political history and the business history
of Europe in the twentieth century. The book includes research on
the interactions of politicians, businessmen and their institutions
in eight countries, with particular focus on the highly charged
inter-war period. Fourteen essays cover subjects under four main
headings: the business - politics paradigm; banking finance;
business and politics in the National Socialist period; and the
business community and the state. Together they form a fitting
tribute to the academic scholarship and inspiration offered by
Alice Teichova. In her distinguished career, and in particular
after the publication of her path-breaking book An Economic
Background to Munich in 1974, she did much to stimulate a
collaborative approach to international comparative work in the
field of economic, political and business history. The case studies
presented here demonstrate her considerable legacy to the subject.
For generations, the uneasy relationship between Britain and France
has captured the popular and scholarly imagination. Comparative
studies between the two countries abound, from political systems to
eating habits: so far they have not extended to business
history.
There is now growing interest in comparative business systems,
practices, and performance. In these areas comparison with America,
Germany, or Japan have taken precedence. This volume, with
contributions from leading British and French experts, explores
comparative developments and trends in the two countries which for
so long were the guiding lights of Europe and the world. In
particular it looks at three main dimensions - the family firm;
education and training; and mergers and company structure.
With a mixture of case-studies, sectoral analysis, and
wider-ranging comparison, the book will be a useful addition to an
understanding of the evolution of business organization,
competitiveness, and performance.
Providing fresh insights into the interaction between politics and business in twentieth-century Europe, this book indicates the complexity of the relationship--particularly in the environment of the 1920s and 1930s--when fascism was at its height. Distinctive contributions are also made regarding the contrasting behaviors of businessmen and institutions in response to the Great Depression; the rise of Hitler and the "Jewish question"; the role of business networks in the politics of Belgium and Greece; and the business-politics dimension in the formation of the Irish Republic.
