By examining the main features of the fiscal system of Portuguese Asia and the private interests that clustered around it, this article contributes to the recent historiography on the pluralistic and negotiated dimensions of the colonial government. It argues that, in the context of the European power struggle that opposed the Dutch and the English against the Spanish Habsburgs, the financial needs of the Portuguese crown deepened pre-existing political and social arrangements, with the result that royal officials and colonial elites increasingly gained a role in imperial governance and in preserving the Portuguese empire in Asia. The alignment of interests here can be observed by looking at the extraordinary taxation introduced between 1617 and 1623, which provided added opportunities to co-opt local elites.

哈布斯堡王朝(1580-1640年)在葡萄牙亚洲的财政制度和私人利益

通过考察葡萄牙亚洲财政体系的主要特征以及围绕它的私人利益,本文为殖民政府多元化和谈判范围内的近代史学做出了贡献。它认为,在反对荷兰人和英国人反对西班牙哈布斯堡王朝的欧洲权力斗争的背景下,葡萄牙王冠的财政需求加深了先前的政治和社会安排,结果皇室官员和殖民地精英越来越多在帝国统治和维护亚洲葡萄牙帝国方面发挥了作用。通过考察1617年至1623年之间引入的特殊税收,可以观察到利益的一致,这为增选当地精英提供了更多的机会。
