Piracy and the Making of the Spanish Pacific World, written by Kristie Patricia Flannery
Senkyō to tekiō. Gurōbaru misshon no kinsei [Evangelization and Accommodation. Catholic Global Missions of the Early Modern Period], edited by Akira Saito
Revisiting the Treaty between Spain and Sulu of 1836/37
This essay focuses on the Sulu-Mindanao-Borneo region in the 1830s and zooms in on the Capitulaciones (Spanish) and the Kapiturasyun (Tausug) of a treaty concluded between the Spanish Crown and the Sultanate of Sulu of 1836/37. It compares the different versions of the treaty texts from the perspective of a system of treaties across the region. Uneven historiographical attention has led to myth-building and a controversy over whether the treaty w…
Rethinking colonialism through early modern global diplomacy: A tale of Pampangan mobility
This study is an intervention in early modern global diplomacy. Integrating an indigenous community of the Philippines into foreign relations and maritime connections, the article reevaluates the complex story of the Pampangans of Luzon, allegedly long-term allies of the Spanish conquerors, and the narrative of indigenous collaboration. Foregrounding the Pampangans’ involvement in military campaigns, as well as territorial and maritime expansion …
The Elephant in the Archive: Knowledge Construction and Late Eighteenth-Century Global Diplomacy
This article explores the dynamics behind global diplomacy and knowledge in Asian maritime empires in the late eighteenth century. The short-lived diplomatic exchange between the Kingdom of Mysore and the Spanish Philippines in 1776–7 provides a rich resource for an analysis of how global diplomatic agents coproduced material objects, images, and written records which in turn impacted politics and trade relations. The article makes at least four …
Historiography of the Other: Global History and the Indigenous Pasts of Taiwan
This article argues that Taiwan’s distinctive historical position—at the centre of multiple overlapping colonial jurisdictions and historiographical traditions—furnishes an important opportunity to consider how indigenous pasts and experiences themselves played a role in disrupting or redirecting historical narratives of global connection. It examines texts by Ming travellers Chen Di ( Dongfan ji , 1603) and Zhang Xie ( Dong Xi yang kao , 1603); …
A Question of Political Correctness: Translating Friendship across Time and Space
The article explores translation processes behind diplomatic negotiations between Japan and the Spanish overseas empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. It applies a multi-layered approach that integrates the translations of original diplomatic documents with their re-translation as historiographical source compilations in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Analyzing the different connotations and nuances of friendship as a diplomatic…
Translation in Action: Global Intellectual History and Early Modern Diplomacy
Intellectual and diplomatic history have to a surprising degree evolved as separate historiographies, but they can be combined through a theme crucial to both: translation. Translation enabled intercultural negotiation but could also bring about inaccuracies, misunderstandings, or consciously skewed representations. This issue argues that a multitude of actors can be understood as "translators," that the power relations between types of actors, l…

Merely “ad hoc” diplomacy? A global historical comparison of early modern Japanese–Spanish and Qing-Russian foreign relations
Introduction. Gift and Tribute in Early Modern Diplomacy: Afro-Eurasian Perspectives
Gifts and tribute have become a mainstay of scholarship on early modern diplomacy, particularly in studies of intercultural contacts. While New Diplomatic History has shown that a much wider and more global range of actors participated in shaping diplomatic contacts than was traditionally assumed, we still remain some distance removed from a truly global account of the interactive development of diplomatic norms and practices. This introduction s…

Narrating Japan's Early Modern Southern Expansion
This article explores how the Japanese translator-historian Murakami Naojirō created an understanding of the Japanese past that established seventeenth-century Japanese actors as equivalents to western European and overseas Chinese merchants. Creating a historical geography of the Southern Seas and the Pacific, Murakami celebrated Japan's expansionism, not only by stressing the seventeenth-century Japanese presence in South-east Asia, but also, m…
A Multitude of Actors in Early Modern Diplomacy
This special issue has been motivated by the drive to contextualize the role of individuals of various backgrounds in early modern foreign relations. All contributions cover a broad geographic scope and stress the impact of non-European practices and stages for the study of early modern foreign relations. Four thematic articles follow diverse diplomatic actors, ranging from non-elite envoys to chartered companies, Catholic friars and ministers on…
Spain, China, and Japan in Manila, 1571-1644: Local Comparisons and Global Connections
Emerging AsiaThere is much popular interest in the rise of emerging powers in Asia, especially China and India, and also other countries.However, as yet there is very little committed academic analysis about what the rise of Asia would mean for Asians, and for the world.The 'Emerging Asia' book series publishes monographs and edited volumes that address the impact of the rise of individual countries (e.g., China, India, Korea, Indonesia) on Asia'…
Spain, China, and Japan in Manila, 1571-1644: Local Comparisons and Global Connections
This book offers a new perspective on the connected histories of Spain, China, and Japan as they emerged and developed following Manila?s foundation as the capital of the Spanish Philippines in 1571. Examining a wealth of multilingual primary sources, Birgit Tremml-Werner shows that crosscultural encounters not only shaped Manila?s development as a ?Eurasian? port city, but also had profound political, economic, and social ramifications for the t…
