Financial intermediation: the Rothschilds and the private bankers in the Kingdom of Sardinia -- Chapter 5. Private bankers in the economic and political system of unified Italy -- Chapter 6. The Parodis after the Italian unification.The book analyses the role of private bankers who were pivotal in modernizing the economic and financial system of Italy in the XIX century. To achieve this they needed to interact with the international haute banque to organize and place the public loans and the large investments associated with the joint-stock companies. The theme of reputation, which is currently at the centre of the historiographical debate, is fundamental for the study of the private banker figures, whose professional success is linked to the limitless trust accorded to them by their circle of personal contacts. Historiography has studied the role of Italian bankers in the trade, credit and international finance during the modern age (XVI-XVIII centuries), but it has not analysed the banking system in the XIX century and its national and international relations. The case study of Banca Parodi of Genova fills the historiographical gap concerning the role of private bankers andbanking institutions in Italy, highlighting the network between the Parodi family and the international haute banque; one of the most emblematic cases is the Rothschild family. The book presents a re-elaborates series of unpublished data, placing them at the disposal of the scientific community and analyses the role of private bankers in the development of Italian banking institutions in the XIX century to launch a scientific debate.

The chapters cover topics such as determinants of corporate board size and independence, corporate risk-taking conduct under different controlling shareholder types. The book deepens our understanding of corporate governance mechanisms as most previous studies have limited their findings using mainstream perspectives grounded on neoclassical theory. It outlines that China’s corporate board composition is determined by the board’s scope of operation, monitoring, bargaining power, and other governance mechanisms and regulations. It also offers a comparison between China’s experience with other economies in general and other transition economies in particular. As such, the book represents an essential overview ofthe current concerns regarding corporate governance in China. It is of great interest to legal researchers, policymakers, and legal practitioners working with business investments in China.Dynamics of Asian Development,2198-9931Economic developmentInternational economic integrationGlobalizationCorporate governancePolitical scienceDevelopment StudiesEmerging Markets and GlobalizationCorporate GovernanceGovernance and GovernmentEconomic development.International economic integration.Globalization.Corporate governance.Political science.Development Studies.Emerging Markets and Globalization.Corporate Governance.Governance and Government.338.60951Cheng Zhang909916Rasiah RajahCheong Kee CheokMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910488722203321Governing enterprises in China2819690UNINA
