Abstract

IBARRA, Antonio. Global trafficking and local bussines: the slave trade of the Philippine Royal Company in the Rio de la Plata, 1786-1790. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, e1101.  Epub Mar 07, 2022. ISSN 2007-3496.  https://doi.org/10.18232/20073496.1101.

This research focuses on the operations of the Philippine Royal Company in the global market, on the slave trade between Africa and America as a way to approach to the local dimensions of global trade. It examines the causes and consequences of a company that, despite its failure, opened a new cycle in the Río de la Plata slave trade and its inclusion in the global economy of the late 18th century.
