Resumo(s)
Classical scholarship on the history of Estado da Índia tends to consider
the period of the Iberian Union (1580-1640/1668) as a key moment to understand
the decline of Goa, its capital. This historiography associates the “Spanish period”
with a general crisis in the Portuguese empire, with a dramatic expression in its Asian
territories. Following recent interpretations on this, we argue that other variables,
namely the inter-imperial rivalries in the Indian Ocean (European and non-European),
the new ambitions of the Papacy, were as important as the Iberian Union (in which
context, Goa became one among many capitals, and the Indian Run lost some of its
strength with the Atlantic turn of the Portuguese empire). Altogether, and adding to
it, the behaviour of the local elites, enlighten the transformation of Goa from a global
capital, during the 16th century, to a regional one, by the 18th century.
