Regular commercial contacts between Europe and Asia date back to at
least the early years of the Christian era, but the pattern of
trade underwent a structural modification following the Portuguese
discovery of a route to the East Indies via the Cape of Good Hope.
This volume illustrates the consequences of the arrival of large
numbers of Europeans in the East. Europeans both participated in,
modified and exploited existing trade relationships in the Indian
Ocean and the Pacific. The studies reprinted here show how some
environments, such as Japan, were hostile, whilst most states
welcomed the European commercial contact. The necessity for
Europeans to pay for Asian goods using precious metals is
emphasised by the inclusion of articles in monetary transfers in
Asian trade, a phenomenon which provides a link between economic
developments in the Americas and those in Asia from the 16th
century onwards.
