The Manila Galleon and the impact of long-distance trade: a Comparative Approach

我的项目是一个明确的尝试，通过比较分析在近代早期出现的两条平行的贸易路线，并帮助-可以说-启动了一个软全球化时代，将对马尼拉大帆船贸易的研究与更广泛的历史问题联系起来。因此，本研究的目的是建立必要的组织之间的联系，参与大帆船贸易之间的马尼拉和阿卡普尔科，其同时对应的，EIC和VOC，从而在更广泛的辩论中，机构，企业组织战略，以及长途贸易如何影响欧洲的经济增长。

My project is an explicit attempt to link the research on the Manila Galleon trade with broader historical questions by comparatively analysing two parallel trade routes that emerged during the Early Modern period and that helped to - arguably - kickstart an era of soft globalization. The purpose of this research is therefore to establish the necessary connections between the organization involved in the Galleon trade between Manila and Acapulco, and its simultaneous counterparts, the EIC and the VOC, so as to throw some light on the broader debates on how institutions, business organizational strategies, and long-distance trade affected economic growth in Europe.
