| description | This study shows how the expansion of European capitalism in
shipping and maritime trade in Java at the beginning of the modern
period did not actually result in a total death of local maritime
shipping and trade. What was happening is the process of adaptation
of seafarers and local maritime trade. They had to adjust to the new
pressing situation following the political and military defeat of the
rulers of the port cities on the north coast of Java. This study uses
historical perspective by emphasizing on secondary sources to analyze
and identify the early modern maritime trade network. Although, it is
more like literature review, this study is able to reconstruct the local
traders’ adaptation in the middle of capitalism expansion. It is known
that seafarers and local maritime traders were unable to keep up with
competition in the field of shipping technology so they adapted by
filling in business spaces that were occupied by European maritime
seamen and traders. In addition, another form of adaptation in dealing
with European maritime capitalism is the process of marginalization
and contraction in the scale of the shipping network of local seafarers
in Java. They finally focused more on doing local shipping rather
than international and intra-Asian shipping gradually controlled by
European maritime capitalism. |
