As a Special Subject this will develop students’ skills in identifying and deploying primary sources to frame and substantiate their historical analyses. This module develops the use of Warwick’s electronic sources – ECCO and the Goldsmith- Kress Collection on-line as well as other electronic repositories. It introduces students to museum collections and art collections, as well as colonial and shipping records, correspondence and travellers’ accounts. Context: There are no prerequisites for this Special Subject. It opens opportunities for in depth reading, understanding, research and writing on global and colonial history, especially exploring Europe’s encounter with Asia. It builds on other single themes discussed in Year 1-2 Options ‘Comparative British Imperialism’, ‘The Dragon’s Ascent: the Rise of Modern China’, and ‘Travellers’, and Year 2 Option ‘Galleons and Caravans’. It complements Special Subject ‘Antipodean Encounters: Aborigines, Convicts and Settlers in Colonial New South Wales, 1770-1850’ and Advanced Option ‘China and the Wider World’. The Special Subject connects senior undergraduates to a major new research area in the department centred on Asian and global history.

  • A Historiographical Analysis of the Decline of the Dutch East India Company
    A historiographical analysis of the decline of the Dutch East India Company Erik van Megen Master thesis at the institute of Archeology, conservation and History. Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Fall 2018 Summary The Dutch East India Company was the first multinational corporation in the history of humankind. Throughout the seventeenth and much of the eighteenth century, the company thrived. Both its trading posts and the number of its employees increased throughout the years. However, this success story came to a halt at some point during the eighteenth century, perhaps even before. All the way back to the nineteenth century, historians have discussed various causes of the decline of the Dutch East India Company. However, no one has written a historiographical analysis of the topic. Thus, the main aim of this master thesis is to produce a historiographical analysis of the decline of the Dutch East India Company. This historiographical analysis revolves around the viewpoints of five authors who have sought to explain the decline of the Dutch East India Company.1 Together, these authors represent the most widespread explanations to the decline of the VOC. The emphasis in this paper will not only be on the literature of these authors, but also on their personal background, as well as elements of historical theory and methods. In each chapter, the respective scholar will be compared to his/her preceding scholar, in chronological order. In addition, there is an introduction, a background chapter and a conclusion. 1 In Dutch: De Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC). Preface Writing a master thesis is like walking an endlessly long road, completely by yourself, never reaching a destination and continuously taking wrong turns on the way.

  • The Structure of English Trade in the East Indies, 1601–18331
    Malfeasance and the Foundations for Global Trade: The Structure of English Trade in the East Indies, 1601–18331 Emily Erikson University of Massachusetts, Amherst Peter Bearman Columbia University Drawing on a remarkable data set compiled from ships’ logs, jour- nals, factory correspondence, ledgers, and reports that provide un- usually precise information on each of the 4,572 voyages taken by English traders of the East India Company (hereafter EIC), we describe the EIC trade network over time, from 1601 to 1833. From structural images of voyages organized by shipping seasons, the authors map (over time and space) the emergence of dense, fully integrated, global trade networks to reveal globalization long before what is now called “globalization.” The authors show that the in- tegration of the world trade system under the aegis of the EIC was the unintended by-product of systematic individual malfeasance (private trading) on the part of ship captains seeking profit from internal Eastern trade. INTRODUCTION In the first years of the 17th century, a few intrepid sailors on small English ships crossed the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, haphazardly initiating trade wherever they found willing partners. Within 150 years, thousands of 1 We thank Julia Adams, Henning Hillmann, Joseph Ligman, Paolo Parigi, Joel Po- dolny, Robert Sampson, Toby Stuart, Quentin van Doosselaere, Duncan Watts, Har- rison White, Josh Whitford, Chris Winship and participants of the Historical Dynamics workshop and the anonymous reviewers at the AJS for their helpful comments.
