Sugar trade in the Eighteenth-Century Persian Gulf

Daito, N. (2017)

Doctoral Thesis

The thesis discusses sugar trade in the Persian Gulf in the eighteenth century. The existing historiography of the region still stresses eighteenth-century imperial and economic decline. But the study argues a maintained vitality of the Gulf trade by illuminating remarkable changes in the relationship between trade and consumption in the context of the Persian Gulf and beyond, namely that of the Indian Ocean.
