Maritime Expansion and (De)globalization? An Examination of the Land and Sea Trade in Seventeenth-Century Mughal India
Maritime Expansion and (De)globalization? An Examination of the Land and Sea Trade in Seventeenth-Century Mughal India
This chapter explores the maritime dynamics of the Indian Ocean in the seventeenth century and the resulting impact on the process of globalisation. It analyses the global economic relations of Mughal South Asia and explores the concepts of pro-globalisation, de-globalisation, and the impact of maritime expansionism on regional and global trade. It determines that the oft-presumed link between expansionism and pro-globalisation is erroneous and that maritime expansionism was neither a de-globalising nor pro-globalising. The author calls on maritime historians to devote further research into this ambiguity.
