Abstract:This article examines the origins, constitution, and consequences of the arbitration established in 1654 between the English and Dutch East India Companies. Conceived in the aftermath of the First Anglo-Dutch War, this procedure prompted the directors of both companies to construct a new relationship between their organizations, aligning their goals, institutions, and political and economic strategies. This shift had significant effects on the future of the East Indies trade, and it influenced the evolution of English and Dutch state relations in Europe. Both companies’ directors used state institutions to establish their own system of inter-company relations, challenging our vision of the period as one dominated by an emergent “modern” interstate system.

公司间：1654 年仲裁与东印度贸易中企业战略的演变

摘要：本文考察了 1654 年英国和荷兰东印度公司之间仲裁的起源、构成和后果。这一程序在第一次英荷战争之后构思出来，促使两家公司的董事在他们的组织之间建立一种新的关系，调整他们的目标、机构以及政治和经济战略。这种转变对东印度群岛贸易的未来产生了重大影响，并影响了英国和荷兰国家关系在欧洲的演变。两家公司的董事都利用国家机构建立了自己的公司间关系体系，挑战了我们认为那个时期由新兴的“现代”国家间体系主导的愿景。
