Sea Rovers, Silver, and Samurai: Maritime East Asia in Global History, 1550-1700
"Sea Rovers, Silver, and Samurai traces the roots of modern global East Asia by focusing on the fascinating history of its seaways. The East Asian maritime realm, from the Straits of Malacca to the Sea of Japan, has been a region of international trade for centuries, but from 1550 to 1700 that the velocity and scale of commerce began to increase dramatically. Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese smugglers and pirates forged autonomous networks, or i…
Garbage In, Garbage Out: Challenges of Model Building in Global History, A Military Historical Perspective
This paper examines two prominent recent attempts to explain the phenomenon of the “rise of the West,” Ian Morris’s model of “Social Development” and Philipp Hoffman’s model of military power (Morris 2010, Morris 2013, Hoffman 2012, Hoffman 2015). Whereas most recent scholarship on the rise of the West has focused on economics, Morris and Hoffman widen the scope of comparison to other areas, in particular focusing on the measurement and explanati…
The Gunpowder Age: China, Military Innovation, and the Rise of the West in World History
Cannibals with Cannons: The Sino-Portuguese Clashes of 1521-1522 and the Early Chinese Adoption of Western Guns
Did Europeans have a military advantage over other peoples of the world during the early modern period (1500-1800)? Scholars of the “military revolution” school have argued that European guns, tactics, fortification techniques, and ships conferred significant benefits on European forces, whereas other scholars suggest that the European military edge was slight at best. This article examines the first armed conflict in history between European and…
A Korean Military Revolution?: Parallel Military Innovations in East Asia and Europe
This article argues that advances in drilling techniques and the use of muskets—essential ingredients of the famous Military Revolution paradigm—were central to Korean military reforms following the Imjin War of 1592–1598. Drawing on recent work in East Asian military history that argues that guns also wrought deep changes in non-European ways of war, we use the Korean military of the Chosŏn dynasty, a fascinating nexus of Chinese, Japanese, and …
Victor Lieberman. Strange Parallels: Southeast Asia in Global Context, c. 800–1830
Victor Lieberman's two-volume opus is the most important work of history produced so far this century. Lieberman's paradigmatic vision has been acknowledged by members of the burgeoning global history movement (his first volume won the 2004 World History Book Prize) and by Asianists, who have recognized it with an unusually thorough and laudatory forum in the Journal of Asian Studies in November 2011. But its relevance goes well beyond these fiel…
Koxinga’s Conquest of Taiwan in Global History: Reflections on the Occasion of the 350 th Anniversary
Koxinga’s Conquest of Taiwan in Global History: Reflections on the Occasion of the 350th Anniversary Tonio Andrade (bio) Three hundred and fifty years ago, the Chinese warlord Koxinga conquered the Dutch colony of Formosa, bringing Taiwan under Chinese rule for the first time. The anniversary is being celebrated widely throughout East Asia, but the event itself—Koxinga’s difficult conquest—is still misunderstood. Koxinga is a legendary figure, th…

An Accidental Embassy: How Two Minor Dutch Administrators Inaugurated an Alliance with the Qing Dynasty of China, 1661–1662
On a cold October day a leaky yacht sailed into an unknown bay. It was 1661, and the two low-level Dutch bureaucrats who rowed ashore thought they'd return to their ship the same night. Instead they were swept up on a weeks-long journey into China, until finally they found themselves bowing before one of the most powerful men in the imperium: the Jingnan Prince Geng Jimao. Their clothes were tattered, they had no gifts to give, their translator w…
Was the European Sailing Ship a Key Technology of European Expansion? Evidence from East Asia
An Accelerating Divergence? The Revisionist Model of World History and the Question of Eurasian Military Parity: Data from East Asia
Over the past few years, this journal has hosted a debate central to world history and historical sociology: Joseph M. Bryant’s bold assault on the revisionist model of global history and the revisionists’ equally trenchant defense. A key point of disagreement concerns Europeans' relative military advantages vis-a-vis Asians. Both sides cite literature from historians’ Military Revolution Model, but each takes different lessons from that literatu…
Beyond Guns, Germs, and Steel: European Expansion and Maritime Asia, 1400-1750
Why did Europeans rather than other Eurasians build the world’s first global empires, extending a measure of control, however fragile and contingent, over the oceans of the world? This article suggests that the best place to find an answer to the question is not in Europe but in Asia. Europeans were not alone in creating overseas empires in the early modern period, but the Asian counterparts to the Portuguese, Dutch, and English Empires are littl…
A Chinese Farmer, Two African Boys, and a Warlord: Toward a Global Microhistory
This article urges world historians to experiment boldly with narrative history and microhistory as a corrective to the field's heavy emphasis on models and structures. Global microhistory as the author conceives it focuses on human dramas that shed light on intercultural connections and global transformations, and the article offers an example of the genre: a story of a Chinese man, two African boys, two feuding Dutch merchants, and a Chinese wa…
Chinese under European Rule: The Case of Sino-Dutch Mediator He Bin
Chinese under European Rule: The Case of Sino-Dutch Mediator He Bin Tonio Andrade In the 1650s the best hope for Ming loyalists was the son of a pirate: the famous merchant prince Zheng Chenggong, who led the cause from his Ming Memorial Capital in present-day Xiamen. But by the end of the decade even he seemed doomed to fail. With Manchu armies closing in on all sides, he flirted with surrender. Then, deus ex machina, a man appeared at his court…

Political Spectacle and Colonial Rule: The Landdag on Dutch Taiwan, 1629–1648
In 1637 Hans Putmans, having just retired as governor of the Dutch East India Company's Taiwan comptoir, set out from the East Indies to return to Holland. During the long voyage home he composed a report about his last year as governor, describing how he had expanded the Company's control over large parts of the island's hinterlands. He himself had led Dutch troops against the town of Mattau, one of the most powerful aboriginal towns of Taiwan, …
