{"title":"The Failure of the Dutch Free Ports in the Nineteenth Century: Commerce, Colonialism and the Constitution","authors":"Koen Stapelbroek","doi":"10.1080/23801883.2023.2280076","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23801883.2023.2280076","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn the 1820s and 1830s, two debates about free ports took place in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. One debate concerned domestic fiscal policy and the regulation of foreign trade. In this debate the legacies of the political economic thought of Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp and the mid eighteenth-century debate on turning the Dutch Republic into a limited free port were played out. The first Dutch debate on free ports was a response to changing conditions in global trade and a further attempt to regain the old staple market and connect it to an industrialising national economy. The other debate concerned the establishment of the Dutch Trade Company (Nederlandse Handels Maatschappij) and the declaration of a series of overseas free ports in the years after the British seizure of Singapore and its ratification in 1824. This second debate concerned the modernisation of colonial trade to halt the expansion of British commercial settlements in and around the Dutch East Indies as well as in the Caribbean. Together these debates represented the national challenge to put the entire Dutch economy on a new foundation and reflected differing constitutional perspectives that had pitted liberals against patriots since the late eighteenth century.KEYWORDS: Free portsDutch United KingdomDutch trade companySingaporeCuraçaoDutch East Indies Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Hogendorp, Coup d’Oeil.

The discussions are placed in the contexts of nationalising empire, Russian imperialism, and cosmopolitan society of the globalised free port of Vladivostok. The piece traces the place of ideas about free trade in the social and political imagination of contemporaries in the Priamur region to show how these images were challenged by imperial expansion in Manchuria. It also analyses the rhetorical strategies used by regional actors to re-negotiate the borders of economic and political expansion, as well as the internal and external comparisons they made. The article demonstrates how debates about free trade in the Russian Far East offer deeper insight into how ideas about free trade and free ports as institutions affected not only the economic but social and political transformations in the late imperial period.KEYWORDS: Russian empirenationalismfree portsporto-francofree tradeimperialism AcknowledgementThe work on this paper was done in collaboration with the research group that has been supported by the Russian Science Foundation, grant № 23-28-00868 ‘Siberian and Far Eastern porto-franco regimes in the history of economic development of the Russian imperial periphery (second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries),' https://rscf.ru/project/23-28-00868/.

Consider the logistics: in the 1880s, before the Trans-Siberian railroad was constructed, it took about 320 days to transport goods from Moscow to Vladivostok overland and 65–75 days by sending the goods over the ocean through Odessa.

A particularly revealing example is that provided by Simón Bolivar. Aware of the fact that Napoleon was disliked by most people due to the negative image of the colonies conveyed by Spain for over a decade, Bolivar always avoided public references to Bonaparte, but professed great admiration for him in private. See Collier, ‘Nationality, Nationalism, and Supranationalism in the Writings of Simón Bolívar’, 37–64.

Furthermore, the impact of Napoleon is clear in the use of the Code Napoléon as the legislative system in the new-born Latin American republics, on which see Andrés Santos, ‘Napoleon in America?’, 297–313; Mirow, ‘The Power of Codification in Latin America’, 83-116; Mirow, Latin America Law, 152-8.4 On the monopoly system of the fleets see García-Baquero González, La Carrera de Indias.5 For an overview of the political debate in nineteenth-century Latin America, see Chiaramonte, Nación y estado en Iberoamérica.6 The major contributions to the debate have been collected in Controversia sobre la libertad de comercio en Nueva España.7 The consulados (merchant guilds) were meant to represent the interests of the merchant class in negotiation with those of the Crown.

Grant Kleiser, Pernille Røge","doi":"10.1080/23801883.2023.2280086","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23801883.2023.2280086","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTWhen the Dutch West Indies Company (WIC) established the free port of Willemstad, Curaçao after 1674, they launched a model for economic competition that other European empires would emulate. Within a century, the Danish, Spanish, British, and French all established their own Caribbean free ports. Emulation, however, was not replication. This article argues that while the expansion of free ports into different Caribbean empires generated similar forms of economic dualism (prohibitive commercial systems in certain locales with more-open ones in others), they all served varying purposes. The Dutch and Danish maintained or expanded their free-port systems and utilised strategic neutrality to remain active players within an increasingly competitive economic arena. Britain wanted to extend its commercial empire by making foreign realms dependent on its trade. France sought to pacify recalcitrant planters desperate for reliable provisioning. Finally, Spain enacted free ports in Santo Domingo to supply and encourage settlement in a region threatened by French encroachments. Thus, although these empires all established free ports in strategic locales and jealously emulated each other, they did so with unique political-economic aims in mind. Meanwhile, merchants, enslaved Africans, sailors, settlers, and European intellectuals employed Caribbean free ports to accomplish their own ends as well.KEYWORDS: Emulationeconomic dualismjealousy of tradeCaribbean free ports; political economyEuropean colonial empires Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Smith, An Inquiry, Book IV, 3, 493.2 See Hont, Jealousy of Trade, 5–11; Shovlin, “War and Peace,” 305–8; and Whatmore, Against War.3 The concept of “Økonomisk dualisme” in the Danish Caribbean is described by Vibæk, Vore Gamble Tropekolonier, 64.
