Abstract
Bringing together materials from Belgian, Dutch, English, French, German, and US-American archives, this paper proposes a case study of the short-lived Prussian East India Companies to analyse how the transnational networks of labour, capital, and expertise that underlay the various European East India Companies operated in practice. Understanding how these companies functioned as both state-sponsored and as transnational enterprises gives us new insights into the wider mechanisms underlying Europe’s early modern economic and imperial expansion.
