Trade and Trust in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World

Fruitfully combining approaches from economic history and the cultural history of commerce, this book examines the role of interpersonal trust in underpinning trade, amid the challenges and uncertainties of the eighteenth-century Atlantic. It focuses on the nature of mercantile activity in two parts of Spain: Cadiz in the south, and its trade with Spain's American empire; and Bilbao in the north, and its trade with western and northern Europe. In particular, it explores the processes of trade, trading networks and communications, seeking to understand merchant behaviour, especially the choices made by individuals when conducting business - and specifically with whom they chose to deal. Drawing from a broad range of Spanish, Peruvian and British archival sources, the book reveals merchants' experiences of trusting their agents and correspondents, and shows how different factors, from distance to legal frameworks and ethnicity, affected their ability to rely on their contacts. Xabier Lamikiz is Associate Professor of Economic History at the University of the Basque Country. .

Catálogo del fondo histórico vasco

La Biblioteca Universitaria de Deusto ha elaborado este «Catálogo del Fondo Histórico Vasco 1831-1939» (F.H.V.) a partir de una selección de los registros bibliográficos de su Catálogo General informatizado, pertenecientes a dicha sección. El objetivo de esta edición impresa es difundir el conocimiento de esta colección entre investigadores y estudiosos de la cultura vasca escrita y publicada entre 1831 y 1939. El periodo 1831-1939 se ha delimitado, considerando 1831 el inicio de la imprenta mecánica y 1939, final de la Guerra Civil Española, acontecimiento que produjo enormes pérdidas en bibliotecas y colecciones particulares, por lo que merece su protección en la sección de reserva.

Historias de corsarios vascos. Entre el comercio y la piratería

El mundo corsario de Euskal Herria vivió su apogeo durante los siglos XVI y XVII, hasta el punto de que para muchas villas costeras la piratería llegó a ser una forma de vida, al tiempo que los marineros vascos navegaban bajo diferentes banderas. Además, los avatares del corso quedaban reflejados en el conjunto de la sociedad vasca, aunque de formas diferentes según la intensidad y periodicidad con que afectaban a las distintas poblaciones. Tal vez por ello, sorprende el hecho de que miles de valerosos marineros embarcados en centenares de veleros operando en todos los mares del globo durante varios siglos hayan podido caer en el más completo olvido. Historias de corsarios vascos es el fruto de una ardua tarea de investigación y selección llevada a cabo por José Antonio Azpiazu. Mediante anécdotas, datos y noticias, el historiador oñatiarra nos desvela un mundo apasionante, fascinante y, por qué negarlo, incluso novelesco. Pero este mundo de carácter fronterizo, debido a que se mueve en tierra de nadie, caracterizado por cierta tendencia a evadir las normas, en manera alguna es irreal o inventado. Ha estado muy presente entre nosotros.

This scholarly study examines politics and society in Vizcaya -- an important province in the Spanish Basque region -- during the first third of the nineteenth century. Focusing on the period 1800--1833, the author conducts a detailed historical inquiry into the general origins of the First Carlist War in Vizcaya. Utilizing a vast array of unpublished primary sources gathered in numerous Spanish and French archives, Barahona addresses a wide range of factors -- political, social, economic, ideological, religious, and military -- that laid the foundation for the severe conflicts the region endured in the 1830s. Specifically, the author examines the many significant developments that took place in Vizcaya such as the War of Independence and its aftermath (1808--1814), the First Restoration (1814--1820), constitutionalism and the Liberal Triennium (1820--1823). In addition, detailed attention is given to another important point of conflict: relations between Vizcaya and the Spanish state during the 1823--1833 decade.
