  • "Periphery": London City Bankers and Their Investments in Greece (1850-1910) (Korinna Schönhärl)
    Decision Taking, Risk Management and Trust in the "periphery": London City bankers and their investments in Greece (1850-1910) (Korinna Schönhärl) Introduction: The high-risk Greek loan of 1910 In 1910, only one year after the Greek Uprising of Goudi which brought Eleftherios Venizelos to power, an international banking syndicate consisting of the National Bank of Greece, sev- eral French banks, and the London banks Hambro & Son and Emile Erlanger & Son issued a loan of 150 million drachmas (150 million Francs) in Paris and London. This loan was the first one to be issued after the Greek bankruptcy of 1893 without any guarantee from the Inter- national Financial Commission (IFC), which Greece had to accept in 1898 to pay back her foreign debt. Until 1910 all Greek foreign loans were guaranteed by the IFC, because other- wise it would not have been possible for the country to issue on the stock exchanges at ac- ceptable conditions. The 1910 loan was issued only two years before the conflicts in the Bal- kan regions escalated with the Balkan Wars and WWI, damaging the Greek financial system considerably. Under these circumstances the question arises as to why the foreign bankers got involved in this obviously high-risk financial transaction. What kind of business connections with Greece did they have? What did their risk management look like? What kind of networks existed? How was confidence between the partners constructed? This paper argues that both London banks became interested in the Greek loan because of their long lasting relationships with the country and because they wanted to keep or develop their reputation as a Greek “house bank”.

  • An Analysis of the Greek Economic and Military Mobilization of the 1909-1923 Period
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 18, ISSUE 1 Studies The Economic forces of victory versus those of defeat: An analysis of the Greek Economic and Military Mobilization of the 1909-1923 period. Dr. Ioannis-Dionysios Salavrakos Introduction. The intellectual aspiration of the paper is to highlight the economic forces that played an immense role in the wars in which Greece participated during the 1909-1923 period. These were four major conflicts: The two Balkan wars of 1912-1913 against the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria; the First World War (1914-1918) and the Greek-Turkish war of 1919-1922. The tragic period started with Greek victories and ended with the greatest defeat of the modern Greek state. Although these conflicts were different there is a clear nexus between them. In the Greek as well as the international bibliography the majority of studies highlight the strategic, tactical, operational, diplomatic, psychological dimensions of the conflicts of the period, as well as, the personal motives of political and military leaders. Within this intellectual framework, the economic forces of the conflict are marginalized by most academics. The final conflict of the period is mainly known as the “Campaign of Asia-Minor» in the Greek bibliography, whereas in the Turkish bibliography it is considered as “the Great Patriotic War”. Thus in this article we aim to demonstrate that the conflicts of the period are connected and also that ©Centre of Military and Strategic Studies, 2017 ISSN : 1488-559X JOURNAL OF MILITARY AND STRATEGIC STUDIES the Greek defeat of 1922 was the outcome of a chain of miscalculations which the Greek side has made, but above all it was the nexus of limited economic resources, diplomatic errors and wrong tactical decision making in the front.

    UPPSALA PAPERS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY 1993 WORKING PAPER NO 10 Foreign Capital and Greek Development in a Historical Perspective Margarita Dritsas University of Crete Department of Economic History ISRN UU-EKHI-WP--1O-SE ISSN 1102-1306 Uppsala universitet Reprocentralen HSC Uppsala 1993 Introduction Most studies of foreign capita1 in various countries have traditionally em- phasised only the economic aspects of the phenomenon. Whenever the political dimension has been examined, it usually succumbs to the ideo- logital standpoint of the author. In the latter case, most ofien, foreign capita1 is blamed for all sorts of problems that arise in the host coun- triesl. Theoretical approaches seem over the years to have crystallised in two paradigms: the liberal economic theory and the dependency theory. Ofien, however, researchers tend to focus their analyses on brief periods, or on certain aspects only of these relations and, consequently, these tend to lack historital depth. On the other hand, stritt adhesion to one or the other theoretical perspective tends to lead to twisting of fatts in order that they may fit particular patterns. The purpose of this paper is to argue that any analysis of foreign capi- tal relations should on the one hand follow a historital outline, and take into consideration the degree of development of a host country, and on the other, not alienate politital factors. Furthermore, politics is a compli- cated process and when analysing a politital situation or a politital effect various factors should be borne in mind. For instance, the geopolitical strategic considerations of a capita1 exporting country - despite any de- gree of relative autonomy that individual participants, such as investors, on the one hand, or types of govemment (socialist, liberal or otber) on the other, may have - can determine the choice of host areas, the amount of capita1 exports and the terms of investment.

Entrepreneurial Typologies in a Young Nation State: Evidence from the founding charters of Greek Société Anonymes, 1830-19091 Ioanna Sapfo Pepelasis Department of Economics Athens University of Economics and Business MAILING ADDRESS [email protected] ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial Typologies in a Young Nation State: Evidence from the founding charters of Greek Société Anonymes, 1830-1909 On the basis of a recently constructed data base on company charters, this essay examines entrepreneurial typologies in the nascent Greek corporate sector between national independence in 1830 and 1909, a landmark year regarding state formation and the empowerment of the bourgeoisie. It argues that entrepreneurship was multifaceted and did not comply to one single theoretical typology. This proposition marks a departure from the established perception of Greek entrepreneurial action as solely of a Kirznerian (non- innovative) typology. Specifically, it shows that within the emerging corporate sector a Schumpeterian/Baumolian entrepreneurial typology prevailed which fostered the development of new economic activities, new economic spaces and western innovations in governance/ business organization.
