Arabian Seas The Indian Ocean World of the Seventeenth Century

This groundbreaking work explores the intersection of the worlds of Islam (including South & Southeast Asia, the Middle East & East Africa) & the European economy (particularly the seafaring Portuguese, Dutch, & British) on the eve of the modern world system. A pillar of the emerging literature that has begun to recast our understanding of the early modern history of Asia, it underlines the early predominance of Asia in the world economy & demonstrates the long & deep ties between European & Asian economic & military developments.Barendse, Rene J. is the author of 'Arabian Seas The Indian Ocean World of the Seventeenth Century' with ISBN 9780765607294 and ISBN 0765607298.
