摘要:北太平洋被纳入近代世界经济体系,实现早期全球化,是国际贸易不断拓展影响的结果。马尼拉大帆船贸易最早开辟了西欧—拉美—中国之间的跨洋商业联系,北太平洋在其中主要体现为一条海洋贸易往返航线,而远非一个由频密的商贸网络支撑的整体经济区域。18世纪末至19世纪30年代,北太平洋上发展起了新的跨洋国际贸易——美国贸易商主导下的对华海洋动物毛皮贸易和檀香木贸易。两种贸易共同作用,最终开辟成直接联通北美西海岸和中国的北太平洋国际贸易商路,并与西欧—北美、西欧—东亚两条传统世界贸易线相衔接,形成新的三角或多角贸易,在此基础上初步开启了北太平洋地区经济一体化的进程。北太平洋的早期贸易全球化,更新和发展了全球贸易网络,并为自由贸易时代的到来和世界经济“去大西洋中心化”奠定了基础。

结语
注释:
[1]文中的“北太平洋”和“南太平洋”并非按赤道划分,而是依据历史著述中常见的标准分定,大致以北纬15度为界,该界限以南的太平洋部分即为各类史料中常见的多岛屿分布的“南海”(South Sea),以北部分则基本是一片“海洋荒漠”,仅零星分布有夏威夷群岛等少数岛屿。

[3]对19世纪太平洋贸易商路和贸易网的研究,国内外史学界的现有成果多从国别、小区域或具体议题着手,基本集中在西太平洋区域(如中国、东南亚、美国、日本、菲律宾、澳大利亚等)、马尼拉大帆船贸易、葡萄牙大商帆贸易等问题(如Dennis O. Flynn, Arturo Giráldez and James Sobredo, eds., European Entry into the Pacific, Spain and the AcapulcoManila Galleons, Aldershot, Hampshire: Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2001;费晟:《论18世纪后期大洋洲地区对华通航问题》,李庆新主编:《海洋史研究》第12辑,社会科学文献出版社2017年版)。从太平洋或世界经济整体视角做系统探讨的学者很少,何芳川先生是一个代表,他所著述的《太平洋贸易网500年》、《崛起的太平洋》(北京大学出版社1991年版)和《澳门与葡萄牙大商帆——葡萄牙与近代早期太平洋贸易网的形成》(北京大学出版社1996年版)等成为具有拓荒性意义的作品;其他还有如Dennis O. Flynn and Arturo Giráldez, “Arbitrage, China, and World Trade inthe Early Modern World Period,” Journalof the Economic and Social History of the Orient, Vol.38, No.4(November 1995), pp.429-448等。迄今为止,对19世纪北太平洋贸易商路和贸易网的系统研究尚未见专论,西方史学界对近代世界贸易网的观念一直停滞于由欧洲和大西洋贸易为中心向世界其他地区的发散延展,对19世纪北太平洋地区萌生的明显脱离传统“欧洲中心”的新贸易网络缺乏关注和认识。

[9]文中所涉及之“贸易”(trade),是指经济行为中的商品和服务的交易(the transactions of goods and services);“商业”则是指commerce,狭义上的商业,即一种经济实体间有关商品和服务的交换(the exchange of goods or services),是一种宏观经济购销(themacroeconomic purchase and sale),包括与特定商品买卖有关的所有交易,因此在范畴上比“贸易”更大。两者尽管在概念上存在一定的差异,却又具有很强的关联和相容性,都以经济实体之间有关商品和服务的购与销为核心,因此常被结合使用,如“商贸”(commerce and trade)。
