Making the Company Work.In Lobbying in Company , Joris van den Tol argues that people made a difference in the Dutch West India Company colony in Brazil (1630-1654). Through a combination of petitions, personal relations, and public opinion, individuals were able to exercise influence on the decision-making process regarding Dutch Brazil. His thorough analysis of these different elements offers a new perspective on the Atlantic and the Dutch Republic in the 17th century as well as a better understanding of lobbying in the Early Modern period. It was not the organizational structure that decided success and failure, but it was the people that made a difference.The Atlantic World ;38.LobbyingNetherlandsHistory17the centuryLobbyingBrazilHistory17the centuryLobbyingHistoryLobbyingHistory382.0981Tol Joris van den1544500MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827140103321Lobbying in company4030854UNINA
