The Dutch East India Company examines the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, founded in 1602 to coordinate Dutch trade and warfare in Asia. It follows the company’s commercial networks, fortified settlements and military expansion from the Indonesian archipelago to the Indian Ocean and East Asia, with Batavia at the centre of its operations. The book also considers monopoly, coercion, colonial administration and the company’s role in the rise and eventual decline of Dutch global power.
