Resumo(s)
One might suppose that banking history has come to a turning point. The accumulation of case studies has for many years offered the opportunity to understand the specific role of banks in long-term economic development. In recent times, the business history approach – both methodological and theoretical – has added new elements for a more specific evaluation of the Chandlerian paradigm – the couple ‘strategy’ and ‘structure’ – in this sector. There are many reasons to appreciate the effort that has been made to adapt a methodology, and a sort of Weltanschauung (some kind of a world-wide system), conceived for big industrial companies to financial institutions. However, some areas of banking history still need improvement, and that is the case for banks active in overseas territories either under European influence or still undergoing the move to development. This explains why this book chose to confront various histories on a geographical field (Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, with a few in Asia) but also on a thematic field: colonial and imperial banking
