The new American geographies could have served to increment its cultivation, increasing what Pomeranz defines as ghost acreage, to supply the huge demand for European cannabis. The sources for Spanish America show, in fact, a firm will to increase the cultivation of hemp to be used in naval vessels. However, a wide historical record of failures and frustrations seems incompatible with classical explanations such as European mercantilist resistance to the crop¿s transfer to the Americas. Therefore, it seems reasonable to turn to other scientific disciplines, including botany and agronomy, in order to reinterpret the scarce introduction of hemp cultivation in South America. ; GECEM Project (ERC-Starting Grant), ref. 679371, Horizon 2020, project hosted at UPO

GECEM (Global Encounters between China and Europe: Trade Networks, Consumption and Cultural Exchanges in Macau and Marseille, 1680-1840), a project hosted by the Pablo de Olavide University (UPO) of Seville (Spain). The GECEM project is funded by the ERC (European Research Council)-Starting Grant, ref. 679371, under the European Union¿s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, www.gecem.eu. The P.I. (Principal Investigator) is Professor Manuel Perez Garcia (Distinguished Researcher at UPO). Manuel Diaz-Ordoñes is also member of the Global History Network (GHN) in China www.globalhistorynetwork.com ; Desde hace años los historiadores que han trabajado en comprender mejor el proceso de formación de los estados modernos han coincidido en destacar que un factor muy importante del éxito de estas instituciones pasó siempre por sus mejores o peores capacidades a la hora de movilizar recursos estratégicos. Por esta razón es razonable dedicar este trabajo para analizar la importancia del cáñamo como un producto estratégico por el que el Imperio español estableció un abastecimiento desde España que garantizara el dominio y la defensa de los nuevos espacios ultramarinos. Y, al mismo tiempo, la monarquía realizó un gran esfuerzo en fomentar el cultivo cannabáceo en América provocando con ello el establecimiento de rutas de circulación de esta fibra por los diferentes mercados regionales de consumo en la costa del Pacífico. ; GECEM Project (ERC-Starting Grant), ref. 679371, Horizon 2020, project hosted at UPO ; Preprint

GECEM Project (ERC-Starting Grant), ref. 679371, under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, www.gecem.eu. ; The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of the aristocracy within the recruitment crisis suffered by the Hispanic Monarchy during the second half of the 17th century. In order to do so, we have resorted to the important archive sources that are conserved, both at a national and local level. With them we have been able to reconstruct the role of the nobility in a specific levy. At a time of crisis, the monarchy used a new formula, resorting to aristocracy to manage the enlistment of volunteers in charge of the Royal Treasury in different districts, turning the nobles into occasional managers of recruitment, a formula very different from the traditional one. ; GECEM Project (ERC-Starting Grant), ref. 679371, Horizon 2020, project hosted at UPO

AbstractThis paper introduces an innovative method applied to global (economic) history using the tools of digital humanities through the design and development of the GECEM Project Database (www.gecem.eu; www.gecemdatabase.eu). This novel database goes beyond the static Excel files frequently used by conventional scholarship in early modern history studies to mine new historical data through a bottom-up process and analyse the global circulation of goods, consumer behaviour, and trade networks in early modern China and Europe. Macau and Marseille, as strategic entrepôts for the redistribution of goods, serve as the main case study. This research is framed within a polycentric approach to analyse the connectivity of south Chinese and European markets with trade zones of Spain, France, South America, and the Pacific.
