Formalization of Banking Supervision
This book has been many, many years in the making. Eiji Hotori and
Mikael Wendschlag presented a crude first draft, including the conceptualization of the formalization process, at the 17th World Economic
History Congress in Kyoto, Japan in August 2015 (WEHC 2015). At
a session organized by Hotori entitled “Banking supervision in comparative perspective: Europe, America and East Asia,” several of the world’s
leading researchers on banking supervision history presented new research
and engaged in discussions about the similarities and differences between
various countries, and the book’s third author, Thibaud Giddey, presented
some of his work on the cases of Switzerland and Belgium. Inspired by
the conference and the positive feedback on the early draft, work on the
book continued. With Giddey agreeing to join the project, the number of
country cases increased, enabling deeper scrutiny of why banking supervision became formalized as it did, and why various countries’ histories
differ so much.
