Chapter Chapter 2 in Co-operative Banking Networks in Europe, 2019, pp 65-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Networks build relationships between co-operative banks (CBs) that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve a common purpose. The need to build alliances tends to increase in relation to the number of CBs existing in a territory, offering benefits in terms of supply alliances, monitoring functions, and the creation of social capital. This chapter examines the rationales for and structures of co-operative banking networks both from a theoretical perspective and as exemplified in the European countries under investigation. The typologies detailed include single- and multi-tiered horizontal and vertical networks, along with their governance structures.
