World Insurance

This book is the first to trace comprehensively the history and development of the international insurance and re-insurance business around the world. Developed in conjunction with the spread of overseas economic activity by European countries, in particularly Britain, insurance markets expanded massively during the twentieth and twentieth centuries. This book provides twenty case studies from across Europe, North America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and Northern Africa, Far East and Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. It is intended as the authoritative resource on the subject.
