| Research Abstract |
The project conference was held between 13 and 16 September 1994 in Tokyo. From overseas, twelve distinguished scholars joined 4 Japanese colleagues. At the conference fourteen papers were given and some forty Japanese observers participated in the discussions, which could be summarized as follows.
The Japanese determination to control their own overseas trade and the profits therefrom, led to the establishment of the Yokohama Specie Bank in 1880. It was this same bank, by the outbreak of the Pacific War a tool in the hands of the Japanese military, which the Americans resolved to destroy during the occupation after 1945. The Chinese, and the Asian peoples, although involved in the remittance business and in other lowly banking functions, were during this century, unable to establish themselves as independent bankers. But it was the British who, certainly until 1914, and in some senses until 1939, dominated Pacific banking. Their multinational banks, led by the Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, were able for most of the century to maintain London as the center of an international money market. Other colonial powers, including France, had their own priorities to develop their own monetary empire with Paris as its center. There is also discussion here of the banking personnel, whether English, French, Italian(in California), Japanese or Scots who made international banking their business.
By developing the theme of East meets West and exploring the implications of colonialism in Pacific banking, the project made much new material available.
