Based upon a sweeping command of Dutch East India Company (VOC)
primary sources, Knaap's manuscript offers a thought-provoking
thematic examination and chronological survey of the Dutch
Republic's overseas and colonial expansion in Asia and South
Africa, mainly through the VOC and its successors, the Batavian
Republic, the Kingdom of Holland and Franco-Dutch Java, over a
period of more than two centuries, 1596-1811. It elucidates and
deals with several conceptual and theoretical issues that are
intrinsically important and germane to a polity's definition of and
how it chooses to execute the process of expansion overseas in the
early modern period. One of this work's major arguments and
contributions is its advocacy that the Dutch VOC's expansion in
Asia was an imperial project and must be seen as an act of empire,
or, at the very minimum, the attempt to construct one via the
innovative utilization of a highly organized and dynamic commercial
institution with significant political and diplomatic power and
naval and military resources.
