ItemInto Speyne to selle for Slavys: English, Spanish, and Genoese Merchant Networks and their Involvement with the 'Cost of Gwynea' Trade before 1550(Oxford University Press, 2012)
In 1541, Roger Barlow, an English merchant who had traded with Spain's Atlantic settlements from Seville in the 1520s, presented Henry VIII with a cosmography containing his personal account of the Rio de la Plata, inserted into an English translation of the 1519 edition of the Suma de Geographia by Martin Fernandez de Enciso. Despite the fact that both men had been involved in the buying and selling of West African slaves, Barlow translated Enciso's short description of the slave markets in Guinea without comment. This chapter explores how the trading network of English, Spanish and Genoese merchants Barlow belonged to had traded in slaves and associated products, such as pearls and sugar, since the 1480s. In doing so, they were instrumental in linking the ‘Guinea of Cape Verde’ to the wider Atlantic world.

ItemKorean Responses to Historic Narratives of Sino-Korean Relations and China's New International Relations Thinking(Palgrave Macmillan, 2014)This chapter will provide a short overview of the long history of Sino—Korean relations and discuss how this historical legacy affects current Korean attitudes towards China’s rise and changing role in the East Asian region. For much of its history Korea had been subordinated (sometimes willingly, in other cases unwillingly, and usually nominally) to the Sinocentric world order. All this changed with the occupation of Korea by the Japanese between 1910 and 1945 and the subsequent Korean War (1950–1953) that ended Korea’s (at least its southern half’s) historical subordination to Chinese political and cultural hegemony. More recently the response of Korea towards China’s revival and changing international role has been complex and varied. When China talks about the re-establishment of a ‘Confucian’ world order in East Asia and the wangdao of the daguo,1 it immediately triggers suspicion amongst Koreans of China’s long-term ambitions and ‘hidden motives’ (usually exacerbated by disputes over historical territorial claims and Korean memory of past Chinese interventions in the Korean peninsula). And yet this suspicion goes hand in hand with the practical acknowledgement (at least amongst upper levels of Korea’s governing elite) that China is the largest economic partner of both Koreas and that the growth of Chinese influence on Korea in the future is highly probable.
