These parts of the western hemisphere were connected by the circulation of people, goods and ideas. This integrated Atlantic world disappeared in a few decades after the Revolutionary era due to several causes, particularly the end of the slave trade and the decolonisation of the Americas. In recent years, it has increasingly become clear that Dutch activities in this Atlantic world were of far greater significance than historians hitherto assumed. This project focuses on the Dutch dimension of the integrated Atlantic World between 1680 and 1795. The pivotal and indeed exceptional role of the Dutch in the Atlantic world was not one of empire-builders, but one of middlemen and brokers, who greased the Atlantic
economic machine with unrivalled credit facilities and a myriad of commodities and distribution channels. This project aims to analyze how the Dutch networks functioned in this Atlantic world system and to explain to what extent and why these networks changed during this period. The analysis relates to the circulation of people and goods as well as to that of ideas. The project will not only generate more insight into the relevance of the Atlantic dimension to Dutch history, but will also contribute to the rapidly expanding international field of ‘Atlantic history’ at large. The research will focus on four (clusters of) pivotal centres at both sides of the Atlantic (Amsterdam/Rotterdam; Paramaribo; Curaçao/ St. Eustatius; Elmina). Each of these centres is considered to be a major junction in the flow of people, goods and ideas connecting the three continents of the Dutch Atlantic and its multinational environment. The project will result in a synthesizing monograph and an edited volume, two monographs, a number of articles in international and national journals, two doctoral dissertations (one of which primarily financed from other sources), a number of papers at international conferences, and digital databases. These publications will be mostly in English in order to contribute to the burgeoning field of Atlantic studies. Encountering A Common Past in Asia (ENCOMPASS) Leonard Blussé, Wim van den Doel, Jos Institute for History 107 Gommans and Alicia Schrikker August 2006 saw the inception of the ENCOM- PASS programme. ENCOMPASS is an education programme (BA/MA/MPhil) for Asian students which is part of the Department of History. The students learn the Dutch language in order to be able to study Dutch historical (colonial) sources and in this way contribute to Asian historiography. Approximately half the students are from Indonesia. The other students originate from countries such as Sri Lanka, India and China. All students are in possession of a BA degree and wish to study further for an MA or MPhil degree. Some of the students have additional work experience in the Arsip Nasional (National Archives) in Jakarta. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has made available a total of twelve yearly grants for Asian students for a two or three year stay in Leiden in the period from 2006 to 2011. The first year (BA) of the programme focuses primarily on the acquisition of the Dutch language; in addition, students follow a number of tutorials in which historical skills are practised and historical knowledge refreshed. After the first year, students join the regular MA programme in History, within which they follow either the European Expansion and Globalisation specialisation or the Historical Archival Sciences specialisation. The most promising students are given the opportunity to join the MPhil programme. By 2009, the ENCOMPASS programme should have extended to include a PhD track. Since the programme effectively only started in August 2006, the activities in the first months of
