- In the shadow of the company: VOC decline and servant relations (1740-1796)
- Description
- A doctoral thesis examining the Dutch East India Company's decline in the late 18th century through the lens of the relationship between the Company and its servants. The work emphasizes informal institutions (private trade, corruption, networking) as functional mechanisms for adaptation to changing circumstances in Asia. While focused on the VOC, the thesis includes comparative analysis with the English East India Company, offering contextual insights relevant to understanding contemporary corporate and imperial structures during the period of the 1765 Revestment.
