Governors, Networks, and Contracts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 April 2020
As discussed in Chapter 1, in the early 1650s the international conditions evolved in a way that made possible the expansion of Dutch trade in Spanish America. At the same time, the Río de la Plata underwent changes on a regional level that affected the areas connecting Potosí to Buenos Aires (Chapter 2). In that context, the agency of Governor Baygorri made possible the connections between the Silver World and the Silver River. In this chapter, I discuss how various governors managed trade with foreigners. Although the chapter focuses on Baygorri, the governor during whose administration Dutch trade in Buenos Aires was most significant, his role can only be understood in contrast to his predecessor and successors.
