of the monarch in the treatment of the colonial affairs.Diogo de Mendonça sent several orders and instructions to guide the mining activities and to promote some new agricultural cultures in America.He also contributed to reorganize the taxation of the gold mining in Brazil, between 1750 and 1751, and supported the creation of an Asian Trade Company, in 1753.The Overseas Secretary gave, after all, important signs that it would help to articulate different kinds of projects and reforms for the colonial space.It is necessary to observe that the historiography regarding the economic and administrative history of the reign of D. José focused in the characteristics and results of the so-called "Pombaline politics", while others ministers and institutions coeval to the Marquis of Pombal were left in the shadows.Diogo de Mendonça Corte Real, nevertheless, played an important role in the administration of the empire and should not be considered a decorative minister.We propose, therefore, a study that seeks to combine the possibilities of Mendonça's individual actions with the analysis of the institutional prerogatives of the Overseas Secretary of State.We seek to approach, above all, the relations maintained between this secretariat, the colonial governors and the Overseas Council, in order to characterize the main transformations that occurred in these institutional spaces in the early years of the reign of D. José I
