This monograph is a study of the interaction of politics and political theory in The Netherlands in the early seventeenth century. Its focal point is the Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius, who developed his rights and contract theories for the benefit of the United Dutch East India Company, otherwise known as the VOC (Vereenighde Oostindische Compagnie). Grotius can be regarded as one of the founding fathers of the First Dutch Empire, the seventeenth century global trading network that centered upon the United Provinces, particularly Holland and Zeeland, yet stretched all the way to the Russian port of Murmansk in the north, the Japanese harbor of Nagasaki in the east, Cape Town in the south and New Amsterdam, nowadays known as New York, in the west.
