World Insurance: The Evolution of a Global Risk Network de Peter Borscheid

World Insurance: The Evolution of a Global Risk Network

Editat de Peter Borscheid, Niels Viggo Haueter
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 aug 2012

Problema centrală pe care o rezolvă World Insurance este lipsa unei perspective globale asupra modului în care riscul a fost sistematizat și exportat la scară planetară. În timp ce majoritatea lucrărilor de profil se limitează la piețe naționale izolate, volumul editat de Peter Borscheid și Niels Viggo Haueter demonstrează cum industria asigurărilor a creat o plasă de siguranță transfrontalieră, ignorând adesea barierele politice sau ideologice. Credem că această lucrare este esențială pentru a înțelege tranziția de la formele tradiționale de protecție la mecanismele moderne de transfer al riscului. Ca și Robin Pearson în The Development of International Insurance, autorii de față distilează experiența reală din douăzeci de țări în principii acționabile, însă extind analiza către forțele macroeconomice precum migrația europeană și comerțul internațional. Suntem de părere că valoarea adăugată rezidă în abordarea onestă a obstacolelor: cititorul va învăța cum protecționismul și inflația au modelat limitele asigurabilității. Structura cărții este riguros organizată pe regiuni: prima parte analizează nucleul european (Marea Britanie, Germania, Elveția), urmată de expansiunea în America de Nord și studii de caz din Africa Subsahariană. Această progresie permite observarea modului în care 'sistemul britanic' a fost adaptat sau respins de culturi diverse. De asemenea, lucrarea se conectează direct cu temele explorate de Niels Viggo Haueter în Managing Risk in Reinsurance, subliniind că fără rețelele globale de reasigurare, pierderile provocate de catastrofele contemporane ar fi imposibil de gestionat financiar.

Despre autor

Peter Borscheid este un distins istoric economic, recunoscut pentru cercetările sale asupra istoriei sociale și financiare a Germaniei și Europei. Niels Viggo Haueter este o autoritate în domeniul istoriei reasigurărilor, ocupând poziții strategice care îi permit să combine rigoarea academică cu expertiza practică din industrie. Împreună, aceștia au coordonat o echipă internațională de experți pentru a produce această resursă de referință publicată de Oxford University Press, consolidând astfel un domeniu de studiu aflat la intersecția dintre economie, sociologie și politică globală.

Descriere

Since the end of the eighteenth century, the insurance industry has cast a safety net around the world, first in the British Isles and then further afield, irrespective of cultural, political and ideological divides. Unlike previous publications on insurance history, which tend to discuss the development of national markets or individual companies, this book focuses on the creation of networks across borders from the end of the eighteenth century to the present day. Distinguished international economic historians draw upon examples from twenty countries across the continents to demonstrate how what was called the 'British system' of risk management spread out in waves, and describes the forces that made this possible - first among them migration from Europe and international trade. The book explores the economic, political, religious, and cultural obstacles that blocked the path of this European invention - not only religious law and traditional practices, but above all protectionism, inflation, and political ideologies. It examines the process of transformation through which modern insurance supplanted traditional forms of protection against perils and risks and was able to keep on offering new ways of dealing with the risks of modern life. As well as discussing primary insurance, it also considers the role played by reinsurance, without which the losses arising out of today's natural and man-made disasters would be immeasurably greater. Finally, taking modern-day disaster scenarios as examples, the book shows just what the limits of insurability are and what risks worldwide networks entail.

Recenzii

For the first time, historians working across a range of subjects from finance and economic modernization to social welfare and even religion have access to a systematic account of how the insurance industry has transformed the risk environment faced by billions around the world and how that process has knit together the economies and fortunes of far flung societies and cultures ... Whether the post-2008 financial debacle will induce a return to a more stringent regulatory environment and a new generation of statist approaches to insurance is a question that must await a sequel to Borscheid and Haueters imposing and standard-setting World Insurance.
