内容説明

Since the 1950s, technological progress and population growth have increased the size of many insurable risks beyond the capacity of national insurance industries, so that there has been a growing need to spread risks beyond national frontiers. Yet for various reasons many governments, particularly among the developing countries, have restricted trade with international insurers and re-insurers. Carter and Dickinson examine the case for the reversal of that trend by looking at governments now embarking on liberalising international trade in insurance and re-insurance. They consider recent trends in trade in insurance services, the restrictions affecting trade between countries and attempts through the European Community and GATT to liberalise that trade.
