SUMMARY:European Consuls in Southeast Asia: Imperial Communication and Consular Struggles in the 19th Century Philippines
LOCATION:Sala de Juntas
DESCRIPTION:By the 19th century, the South China Sea and maritime Southeast
  Asia had developed into a buzzling space for European empires, eager to ge
 t access to its rich products and lucrative markets, in particular in China
 . The imperial commercial and geopolitical interests found themselves refle
 cted in the military might of the European navies but as well in the subtle
  efforts of their consuls, frequently advocating a softer advance towards t
 he local powers than their military counterparts.\nBases on the results of 
 the successful Spanish national project Foreign Consuls in the Philippines 
 and the Sea of China (19th century) (PID2019-106311GB-I00, 2020-2024) and a
 t the beginning of a new project of the conveners, Transimperial Encounters
  in the Philippines. Sovereignty, Conflicts and Interactions, 1762-1885 (PI
 D2024-161892NB-I00), the ideas is to debate the engagement of international
  consuls in Southeast Asia.\nThe panel will focus on three particular empir
 es and their consular representation in the Philippines, namely, Great Brit
 ain, France, and Germany, all of which had a peculiar interest in the regio
 n, each of them with a very different viewpoint and background. As a counte
 rpoint, the forth paper will address the consular correspondence between th
 e Spanish Philippines and British Singapore and Hong Kong. By examining the
 se imperial interactions, the panel aims to illuminate how colonial agents,
  networks, and circulations of knowledge shaped the region’s shared histori
 es. The panel format will allow for a fruitful discussion and give the oppo
 rtunity for guests to actively participate in the debate.
