Abstract

The chapter probes into the Asian resistance against and cooperative efforts with the VOC. Political-cultural ties among rulers and headmen, which provided an immediate return, were more important than economic reasons in the struggle. In a situation of increasing warfare in the Malay Archipelago since the mid-sixteenth century, the ethnic differences in the region were concealed under the appearance of a much sharper Muslim-Christian conflict. Local disputes tended to be solved by appealing to the major regional powers, which provided Ternate or Makassar the opportunity to increasingly interfere and claim tribute as paramount leaders. Undertaking punitive long distance expeditions, seizing Asian vessels, and plundering riverine areas from Sangihe and Syau to the Sea of Timor, the major maritime Asian powers undertook enslaving for a variety of purposes beyond the economic motive. This way, they converted themselves into slave-hunters and contributed to the slave traffic leading to West Java and Batavia.
