Lobbying in Company: Economic Interests and Political Decision Making in the History of Dutch Brazil, 1621–1656 de Joris van den Tol

Lobbying in Company: Economic Interests and Political Decision Making in the History of Dutch Brazil, 1621–1656: The Atlantic World, cartea 38

Autor Joris van den Tol
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 oct 2020
In Lobbying in Company, Joris van den Tol argues that people made a difference in the Dutch West India Company colony in Brazil (1630–1654). Through a combination of petitions, personal relations, and public opinion, individuals were able to exercise influence on the decision-making process regarding Dutch Brazil. His thorough analysis of these different elements offers a new perspective on the Atlantic and the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century as well as a better understanding of lobbying in the early modern period.
