The subject of this paper is the analysis of the Yugoslav-Turkish trade in 1920-1939. The main goal of the research is to point out the qualitative and quantitative indicators of trade between the ...two countries. In addition to the economic scientific approach, which is based on the analysis of statistical indicators derived from data on the exchange between the two countries, a historical approach was applied, which is reflected in the use of historical sources and contextual analysis of processes and events based on them. Despite the modest importance of mutual foreign trade, which could not be significantly affected by the dynamics of strong average annual growth of Yugoslav imports from Turkey, export-import flows between the two countries made a positive contribution to creating a much more important aspect of their relations: political, which was reflected in the signing of the Balkan Pact in 1934.
The residential architecture is an important source for the study of the development of modern society and architecture in interwar Belgrade. A specific way of spatial organization of the apartments ...and their interior design in the third and fourth decades of the 20th century essentially reflect the everyday life. The central room was the lounge where guests were received, serving as a representative public space within the private living one. The lounge, together with the dining room, was often equipped with luxurious furniture and items intended to display the intellectual and social status of the owner. In these lounges Belgrade’s intellectual elite gathered; numerous cultural events were organized there, like literary and music evenings. Research on turning private space into a public one represents a contribution to the understanding of the development of residential architecture, interior and furniture in Belgrade during the interwar period.
A comprehensive account of all major trends in Russian interwar literary theory and its wider impact in our post-deconstruction and world literature era, this book attempts to answer two fundamental ...questions: What does it mean to think about literature theoretically, and what happens to literary theory when it is no longer available as an option?.
In a time of great need for Britain, a small coterie of influential businessmen gained access to secret information on industrial mobilization as advisers to the Principal Supply Officers Committee. ...They provided the state with priceless advice, but, as "insiders" utilised their access to information to build a business empire at a fraction of the normal costs. Outsiders, in contrast, lacked influence and were forced together into a defensive "ring" or cartel – which effectively fixed prices for British warships. By the 1930s, the cartel grew into one of the most sophisticated profiteering groups of its day.
This book examines the relationship between the private naval armaments industry, businessmen, and the British government defence planners between the wars. It reassesses the concept of the military-industrial complex through the impact of disarmament upon private industry, the role of leading industrialists in supply and procurement policy, and the successes and failings of government organisation. It blends together political, naval, and business history in new ways, and, by situating the business activities of industrialists alongside their work as government advisors, sheds new light on the operation of the British state.
This is the story of how these men profited while effectively saving the National Government from itself.
The years between the World Wars represent an era of broken balances: the retreat of the United States from global geopolitics, the weakening of Great Britain and France, Russian isolation following ...the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the resurgence of German power in Europe, and the rise of Japan in East Asia. All these factors complicated great-power politics. This book brings together historians and political scientists to revisit the conventional wisdom on the grand strategies pursued between the World Wars, drawing on theoretical innovations and new primary sources. The contributors suggest that all the great powers pursued policies that, while in retrospect suboptimal, represented conscious, rational attempts to secure their national interests under conditions of extreme uncertainty and intense domestic and international political, economic, and strategic constraints.
Two dynamic general equilibrium economies compete in explaining the United States’ interwar business cycles. Despite the demand driven contender’s slight advantages, the results remain too close to ...call a clear winner.
A comparative examination of financial institutions in the interwar period focusing on the UK, the US, Germany, France, and Japan. In this latest addition to the prestigious Fuji Business History ...series, the contributors to the volume analyse the ways in which different institutions coped with the financial crises at this time, and how they competed with each other. They also ask how this affected the financial climates of the countries in question. The discussion is divided into three parts: commercial banking, universal banking, and insurance and securities.

Na temelju arhivske građe i relevantne literature istraženo je bankarsko poslovanje na prostoru dubrovačkog i bokokotorskog kotara u Kraljevini SHS, odnosno Kraljevini Jugoslaviji. Cilj je bio ...razjasniti razloge uspješnog rada dubrovačkih banaka za vrijeme velike svjetske krize, u razdoblju stagnacije hrvatskog bankarstva. Ta posebnost proizlazi iz mudrog poslovanja i unosnog ulaganja koja nastavljaju tradiciju Dubrovačke Republike, ali je to i posljedica blagonaklonosti Milana Stojadinovića, ministra financija (1922-1924; 1924-1926; 1934-1935) i predsjednika vlade Kraljevine Jugoslavije (1935-1939) prema Dubrovačkoj trgovačkoj banci. Pomorstvo i turizam, te nastanjivanje po litičke i gospodarske elite na ovom prostoru potiču rad štedionica i novčarskih zavoda, čime je stvoren dodatni poticaj razvoju uslužnih djelatnosti.

Naglasak je stavljen na ...povezanost teških socijalno-ekonomskih prilika i ostvarenih nezadovoljavajućih kvantitativnih i kvalitativnih pomaka u osnovnom školstvu te na stvarno stanje provođenja prosvjetne politike na specifičnom prostoru Hrvatskoga zagorja.
