Este trabalho tem como objetivo levantar e analisar as atividades econômicas que se desenvolveram no processo de formação, expansão e integração dos estabelecimentos coloniais de caráter secundário, criados por Espanha e Portugal na Bacia do Prata, e sua evolução no que se refere ao comércio entre eles, ao longo do período colonial. O que se procura destacar é como, apesar das restrições impostas pelas metrópoles, principalmente a Espanha, mas também Portugal, esses estabelecimentos criam mecanismos de contatos comerciais entre si alguns à margem das leis vigentes consolidando e fortalecendo seus sistemas produtivos, com pouco ou nenhum apoio das administrações coloniais, e sem participação direta significativa do capital mercantil europeu. Objetiva-se, também, analisar o destino desses sistemas produtivos no século XIX, à medida em que se integram às recém-formadas economias nacionais, então fortemente dependentes dos mercados e capitais internacionais.
Abstract
This article aims at identifying and analysing the economic activities that were involved in the process of development, expansion and integration of the colonial settlements of secondary importance founded by Spain and Portugal in the River Plates estuary and basin, and the evolution and growth of their trade among them, through the colonial period. In fact, the main objective is to analyse how, even with the restrictions imposed by the colonial metropolis, those settlements established forms of commercial contacts among them - sometimes without respecting the laws in force - that consolidated and strengthen their own productive system, with none or limited backing from the colonial administration, and without significant direct participation of European mercantile capital. Another objective is to analyse what happened with those productive systems in the nineteenth century, as they are integrated in the just formed national economies, at the time strongly dependent of international markets and capitals.
