Overview

This volume concentrates on the international banking revolution of the 1960's and includes a new and important outlook on the groundwork for financial globalization, based on historical perspectives. The four major issues addressed in this book are the revival of London as a strong and competitive world financial center, emergence of Euro-banking as a new benchmark of growth for credit institutions, growing competition between American financial institutions and their global counterparts, and the Strategic response of European and Continental institutions.

Editorial Reviews

"The editor's stated objective is to discuss a subject hitherto neglected: internationalization of banking in industrial countries and the rise of a new global financial order, with the added perspective offered by rigorous use of archival material." -Enterprise and Society.
"Thanks to Battilossi and Cassis' excellent volume we now have a much-improved picture of the emergence of this new arena of international finance, and also a study that highlights the need for further studies of the course and consequences of these developments in the 1970s."— EH-NET

"This is a book that provides a welcome historical study of banking innovation and response. Both banking practitioners and scholars of banking history will find much interest in the volume."—Business History Review
