Ward argues that the Dutch East India Company empire manifested
itself through multiple networks that amalgamated spatially and
over time into an imperial web whose sovereignty was effectively
created and maintained but always partial and contingent. Networks
of Empire proposes that early modern empires were comprised of
durable networks of trade, administration, settlement, legality,
and migration whose regional circuits and territorially and
institutionally based nodes of regulatory power operated not only
on land and sea but discursively as well. Rights of sovereignty
were granted to the Company by the States General in the United
Provinces. Company directors in Europe administered the exercise of
sovereignty by Company servants in its chartered domain. The empire
developed in dynamic response to challenges waged by individuals
and other sovereign entities operating within the Indian Ocean
grid. By closely examining the Dutch East India Company's network
of forced migration this book explains how empires are constituted
through the creation, management, contestation, devolution and
reconstruction of these multiple and intersecting fields of partial
sovereignty.
