This collection of 13 essays deals with a range of topics
concerning Portuguese, Dutch and Chinese merchants, commodities and
commerce in maritime Asia in the early modern period from c.
1585-1800. They are based on exhaustive research and careful
analysis of diverse sets of archival materials found around the
globe. Written by a leading authority on global maritime economic
history and the history of European Expansion, each individual
essay addresses a topic of fundamental importance to those
interested in knowing more about what merchants did (with which
resources and under what conditions) and how they did it, what were
the commodities that were incorporated into local, regional,
intra-regional and global economies, and what was the role and
function of early modern maritime trade and commerce in economic
development in general and especially in Asia in the early modern
era, from c. 1585-1800. A number of them, in particular, relate the
individual or collective merchant experience to specific European
(Portuguese and Dutch) imperial projects and their contestation
amongst themselves and their indigenous neighbours over portions of
the period. Collectively, they form an exposition of a utilitarian
view of human activity under a wide-ranging different set of
circumstances and conditions but with similar patterns of behaviors
and responses that are largely independent from ethnic, racial or
religious stereotyping. The work therefore should raise new issues
and avenues of research concerning these agents and objects in
European Expansion, Asian and Global History.
