Banking in Europe: The Single Market

The Single European Market of 1992 will radically affect the operations of the European banking system. As banks prepare for the Single European Market, they will need to examine their strategies for gaining and retaining market share in this changing economic environment and to be aware of the threats to independent operation that financial deregulation may bring. "Banking in Europe" has been written to point out to the practising banker and the student of banking the implications, problems, and benefits of 1992 for the European banking system. Beginning with an examination of banking in the twelve EC member countries, the book looks at the implications of removing current financial barriers and considers how a free market in banking might operate within the Community. Relevant EC legislation - including the Second Banking Co-ordination Directive - is examined, illustrating how the problems of deregulation might be addressed. The text then highlights the strategies currently being adopted by banks to develop overseas operations while safeguarding traditional markets and goes on to discuss the implications of the recent growth in financial services. This book should be of interest to lecturers and students of international banking, especially students on CIB exam courses, and European studies.

This catalogue raisonné is the only single volume to contain all Stubbs's known engravings and provides a complete record of prints made by others after his works. Introductory essays consider Stubbs's relationships with other artists, particularly his engravers, and examine how the prints were originally marketed.Part 1 covers the more important prints issued during Stubbs's lifetime, some of which are published here for the first time. Each of the 218 entries is fully illustrated and accompanied by comparative material.Part 2 comprises 440 supplementary entries and indicates the nature and extent of Stubbs's posthumous reputation.This book also is the first substantial review of the work of a major 18th century British painter by reference to the important, but neglected, medium of reproductive prints.

Women and men are designed to work together in fulfilling God's mission on earth. Yet God's original intent for equal partnership has been so distorted that churches and organizations continually struggle to foster healthy mixed-gender ministry collaboration. Is it even possible to return to the Genesis ideal of co-laborers in today's contexts?Longtime ministry leader Rob Dixon knows it's possible--though it takes intentionality, courage, and wisdom. Based on qualitative field research among ministry practitioners, Together in Ministry offers a prophetic roadmap for individuals and communities as they seek to develop flourishing ministry partnerships for women and men.Organized around the key domains of inner life, community culture, and intentional practices, this model identifies ten key attributes of partnerships that are both personally satisfying and missionally effective. For each attribute Dixon presents research findings and biblical examples, along with benefits, barriers, and practical next steps. With plenty of real-life stories from ministry leaders and reflection questions in each chapter, Together in Ministry casts a compelling--and encouraging--vision for flourishing partnerships and equips teams and individuals with next steps for making that vision a reality.
