Beginning Sept 1, 2021, Heikki Pihlajamäki is Academy Professor. His project will provide a comparative account of how early modern colonial laws of England, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal evolved. The Project will set the colonial laws in two important contexts: the historical continuation that links the colonial experience to the middle ages and the early modern context of continental European empires (Sweden, Germany, and Russia). According to the hypothesis of this study, the differentiation followed from the differences in the interests that England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal had overseas. The Project’s breakthrough potential is twofold. First, the Project sets the legal orders of the early modern powers traditionally defined as colonial powers in close context with the other European empires expanding at the same time (Sweden, Russia). Second, the Project will systematically compare early modern overseas legal orders with each other. Culturally contextualizing and comparative methods best characterize the approach of the Project.
