Ames' revisionist work demonstrates that, contrary to the traditional view of the inevitable decline and stagnation of the Estado da India after ca. 1640, these were years of innovative and dynamic reform which brought about the geo-political and economic stabilization of Portuguese Asia by 1683. The book details this fundamental shift in Crown policy toward Asia as initiated by Prince Regent Pedro of Braganza (1668-1702) and carried out most effectively by Viceroy Luis de Mendonca Furtado e Albuquerque."--Jacket 607 $aPortugal$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aPortugal$xHistory$yJohn IV, 1640-1656 607 $aPortugal$xHistory$yAfonso VI, 1656-1683 607 $aPortugal$xColonies$zAsia$xHistory$y17th century 676 $a325.3469095 676 $a900 676 $a950.3 676 $a950/.0971/2469 700 $aAmes$b Glenn Joseph$0915588 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144111703321 996 $aRenascent empire$92052508 997 $aUNINA
