Article Description

This article presents a new case study connecting the Canton-Macao-Manila trade axis with the Marseille-Seville-Cadiz axis with the aim to renew studies in global history and revise the great divergence debate within a local scale by emphasising the role of regions in colonial America, China, and Europe. The analysis of trade networks and the circulation of global goods allows us to identify changes in consumption, market regulation, and the intensification of economic links in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. In order to methodologically implement this case study, the GECEM Project Database has been designed by cross-referencing Chinese and Western sources to establish typologies of global goods, silver circulation and connections in these markets. The introduction of American silver into regions of China shows the formation of new local elites and unregulated trade that the Qing state was unable to control.
