In 1602, the States General of the United Provinces of the
Netherlands chartered the first commercial company, the Dutch East
India Company, and, in so doing, initiated a new wave of
globalization. Even though Dutch engagement in the Atlantic and
Indian Oceans dates back to the 16th century, it was the dawn of
the 17th century that brought the Dutch into the fold of the
general movement of European expansion overseas and concomitant
globalization. This volume surveys the Dutch participation in, and
contribution to, the process of globalization. At the same time, it
reassesses the various ways Dutchmen fashioned themselves following
the encounter and in the light of increasing dialogue with other
societies across the world. As such, Exploring the Dutch Empire
offers a new insight into the macro and micro worlds of the global
Dutchman in Asia, Africa and the Americas. The result fills a gap
in the historiography on empire and globalization, which has
previously been dominated by British and, to a lesser extent,
French and Spanish cases.
