The Economic History of Central, East and South-East Europe by Matthias Morys Pdf
The collapse of communism in Central, East and South-East Europe (CESEE) led to great hopes for the region and for Europe. A quarter of a century on, the picture is mixed: in many CESEE countries, the transformation process is incomplete, and the economic catch-up has taken longer than anticipated. The current situation has highlighted the need for a better understanding of the long-term political and economic implications of the Central, East and South-East European historical experience. This thematically organised text offers a clear and comprehensive guide to the economic history of CESEE from 1800 to the present day. Bringing together authors from both East and West, the book also draws on the cutting-edge research of a new generation of scholars from the CESEE region. Presenting a thoroughly modern overview of the history of the region, the text will be invaluable to students of economic history and CESEE area studies.
Banking and Finance in the Mediterranean by John A. Consiglio,Juan Carlos Martinez Oliva,Gabriel Tortella,Monika Pohle Fraser,Iain L. Fraser Pdf
This volume presents a panoramic picture of the many national and international trends and developments, factors, customs, and events that have characterised banking in the Mediterranean area over the past two centuries. During this period banking in the Mediterranean evolved distinct characteristics, several going well beyond the restricted realities of colonial relations. The range of issues covered by the book is extensive and includes both national banking evolution and pan-regional topics. The chapters touch upon various aspects of Iberian, Italian, French, Greek, Maltese, Moroccan, and Ottoman banking history, focusing particularly on issues relating to central banking, numismatics, archival recording, and pan-Mediterranean economic dynamics. The history of certain specific institutions is also considered, including the Imperial Ottoman Bank, The Ionian Bank, The Banque d'Etat du Maroc, and others. Bringing together papers by leading banking and finance historians which were first presented at the European Association for Banking History conference held in Malta in June 2007, this volume offers an invaluable insight towards a wider and more detailed understanding of the roles of banking and finance in Mediterranean economic history. Seen in a context of what has hitherto been something of a historical vacuum in terms of the coverage of much writing on European banking and financial history, and the importance given to the Mediterranean region's banking history in its own right, this is an innovative book that both contributes towards our knowledge the subject, and establishes a pattern for further work in this important area of European economic history.
Business and Politics in Europe, 1900–1970 by Terry Gourvish Pdf
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.

Americanisation in 20th Europe by Dominique Barjot,Isabelle Lescent-Giles Pdf
« Américanisation » est un mot entré de plus en plus dans le langage courant qui exprime des réalités fort diverses. Ce volume analyse les rapports entre l'Europe et l'Amérique selon une vision macro-économique large. De l'Espagne à la Finlande, de la Grande-Bretagne à l'Union Soviétique, les différents chapitres de ce livre montrent comment le modèle américain fut une référence autant pour les entreprises qu'aux trois niveaux politique, économique et culturel. Ils abordent pour cela le sujet selon quatre grands thèmes qui sont : les prémices de l'américanisation avant 1945 ; la dimension politique du projet de l'Amérique, les voies spécifiques de l'américanisation, l'enjeu propre des pays de l'Europe de l'Est. Ils présentent une analyse de la première phase du processus d'américanisation durant laquelle l'introduction du système américain de production revêt un caractère exceptionnel. Ils montrent comment dans l'entre-deux-guerres, une moindre présence américaine au niveau politique est compensée par leur intervention sur le double plan de l'économie et de la technologie. Ils insistent sur le tournant majeur que constitue la Seconde Guerre Mondiale après laquelle les États-Unis programment désormais les transferts culturels et technologiques ainsi que de leurs valeurs et de leur modèle d'organisation sociale. Ils insistent sur l'accueil alors réservé à cette démarche, consistant à la fois en un accueil enthousiaste et une très forte résistance. Ce livre montre aussi l'existence de décalages chronologiques dans le transfert des diverses composantes du modèle américain. Dans la plupart des pays européens, le modèle de consommation de masse a pénétré plus vite que les technologies, les modèles d'organisation de la production et de la gestion de l'entreprise. Il confirme également que l'hégémonie américaine se nourrit d'une relation de dialogue avec l'Europe. L'américanisation consiste davantage en une adaptation sélective, en une hybridation qu'en une adoption. How...
Everyday Life in the Balkans by David W. Montgomery Pdf
Everyday Life in the Balkans gathers the work of leading scholars across disciplines to provide a broad overview of the countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey. This region has long been characterized as a place of instability and political turmoil, from World War I, through the Yugoslav Wars, and even today as debate continues over issues such as the influx of refugees or the expansion of the European Union. However, the work gathered here moves beyond the images of war and post-socialist stagnation which dominate Western media coverage of the region to instead focus on the lived experiences of the people in these countries. Contributors consider a wide range of issues including family dynamics, gay rights, war memory, religion, cinema, fashion, and politics. Using clear language and engaging examples, Everyday Life in the Balkans provides the background context necessary for an enlightened conversation about the policies, economics, and culture of the region.
