No / This paper examines the ways in which the French colonial administration in Cochinchina sought to regulate the alienation of native lands and their sale to overseas investors between about 1900 and 1940. Drawing on archival evidence, the paper considers how the administration developed land legislation in order to facilitate the expansion of European agricultural interests in the colony. The conflicts between those different interests is examined and the paper argues that debates over land sale policies exposed the complex and sometimes conflicting nature of French colonial policy in Indochina.

Com base na vasta literatura sobre a instituição camarária, a hipótese inicial deste trabalho era de que a governança local teria se posicionado a favor da decisão da Coroa portuguesa em suprimir o governador da capitania em virtude das reformas político-administrativas aplicadas no centro-sul que visavam otimizar a exploração dos sertões minerais. A pesquisa, contudo, revelou que a câmara foi contrária à supressão da autonomia, embora essa reação tenha ocorrido apenas nos anos iniciais e finais desse intervalo. Mas a mudança mais significativa foi o reordenamento da interlocução dos camaristas com o funcionalismo régio, o que assegurou as bases de sua governabilidade. A sobrevivência da instituição camarária e a manutenção de sua jurisdição em uma capitania sem governador contribuíram para comprovar seu vigor institucional. Por outro lado, a pesquisa demonstrou que essa supressão de governador pode ser melhor compreendida se vinculada às tensões entre as coroas ibéricas na definição de suas balizas geográficas na América. Para entender esse momento singular da história da câmara de São Paulo, de sede de uma capitania sem autonomia administrativa, foi feito um recuo ao período do governo de D. Luís Mascarenhas (1739-1748) para definir o comportamento político da câmara no período posterior, tendo como referência a relação com esse general. No que concerne à documentação foram utilizados acervos especialmente administrativos de âmbito municipal e ofícios trocados entre as autoridades régias. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the functioning of the São Paulo’s municipal council in the years 1748 to 1765, a period in which the captaincy was politically subordinate to the governor of Rio de Janeiro and the military governor of Santos. Based on the extensive literature on the subject, the initial hypothesis was that local governance would be positioned in favor of the Portuguese Crown decision to abolish the governor of the captaincy because of political and administrative reforms implemented in southcentral optimize the exploitation of mineral lands. The survey, however, revealed that the town council was against the suppression of autonomy, although this reaction has occurred only in the early years and end of that range. But the most significant change was the reorganization council’s dialogue with the royal bureaucracy, which ensured the basis of its governance. The survival of the city council institution and maintenance of its jurisdiction in a captaincy without governor contributed to prove its institutional force. On the other hand, research has shown that suppression governor can be better understood if linked to tensions between the Iberian crowns in defining their geographical beacons in America. To understand this unique moment in the history of the São Paulo’s city council, headquarters of a captaincy without administrative autonomy, it was made a retreat to the government for the period of D. Luís Mascarenhas (1739-1748) to define the political behavior of the council in the period with reference to this general relationship. As regarding the documentation were used especially administrative collections of municipal and letters exchanged between the royal authorities. / FAPESP: 2014/23905-1

Despite considerable research on the British North American colonies and their political relationship with Britain before 1776, little is known about the administration of Nova Scotia from the perspective of Lord Halifax’s Board of Trade in London. The image that emerges from the literature is that Nova Scotia was of marginal importance to British officials, who neglected its administration. This study reintegrates Nova Scotia into the British Imperial historiography through the study of the “official mind,” to challenge this theory of neglect on three fronts: 1) civil government in Nova Scotia became an important issue during the War of the Austrian Succession; 2) The form of civil government created there after 1749 was an experiment in centralized colonial administration; 3) This experimental model of government was highly effective. This study adds nuance to our understanding of British attempts to centralize control over their overseas colonies before the American Revolution.

Este trabalho tem por propósito compreender a constituição do governo subalterno da Ilha de Santa Catarina, entre 1738 e 1807, seu estatuto político-jurídico e suas dimensões, no contexto de consolidação do Império Português no sul da América Meridional. Procura-se verificar as trajetórias e os perfis sociais e militares dos indivíduos nomeados para governar a Ilha e avançar no entendimento das atribuições e limites de jurisdição do cargo de governador subalterno no sul do Brasil. Analisando aspectos da prática governativa pretende-se ainda perceber como que esses oficiais conduziram e equacionaram as determinações passadas pela Corte Portuguesa com as demandas e pressões da sociedade local. / This work has as the purpose to understand the constitution of the subordinate government of Santa Catarina Island, from 1738 to 1807, its juridical-political statute and its dimentions, in the context of consolidation of the Portuguese Empire in the south of Southern America. It is also sought to verify the trajectory and the social and military profiles of the individuals named to govern the Island and to move forward in the understanding of the attributions and limits of jurisdiction of the subordinate governor\"s position in the south of Brazil. Analyzing the governamental practice aspects, it is still intended to notice how those oficials led and equationated the determinations passed through the Portuguese Court with the demands and pressures of the local society.

En las últimas décadas, los investigadores han debatido sobre la representación tradicional de la administración española durante el siglo XVII como ineficaz e impotente. Algunos de ellos argumentan que el régimen del último rey Habsburgo fue decadente e ineficaz. En contraposición a esta imagen,los administradores reales de Lima, capital del Virreinato del Perú, mostraron una gran capacidad de organización y manejo de la crisis después de queun intenso terremoto y posterior tsunami azotaron la ciudad y su puerto en1687. En medio del caos y la destrucción causada por este desastre natural,el virrey y los miembros del cabildo de la ciudad fueron capaces de usar loslimitados recursos disponibles y de atender las crecientes demandas materiales y espirituales de la población de Lima.
