Attraverso l’esame di una esemplare contesa sulle potestà giurisdizionali dei
consoli nel Mediterraneo di fine Settecento, che vede il Regno di Napoli impegnato
nella ennesima rivendicazione della sua giurisdizione territoriale contro
quella extraterritoriale del viceconsole francese a Messina, l’articolo presenta
uno spaccato dei tentativi attuati dal Regno di Napoli di stabilire contatti
diretti con il Levante e le Reggenze barbaresche, in particolare quella di
Tripoli, sfidando l’egemonia francese.

The article examines the revival of long-distance trade studies in the early
modern age, identifying two main approaches polarized between the emphasis
on the role of individuals and networks, and that on the state and
mercantilist policies. It suggests, in conclusion, the need to reconcile the micro
and macro analysis, going back to some holistic interpretative models
that are able to keep together the institutional analysis with the economic
one, that of the local contexts with the systemic one, and to reconstruct a
framework made of both networks and hierarchies.

Commercial companies were sometimes the result of a complicated history of negotiations and interactions between the State and private interests. Company viability and sustainability thus depended on the conditions that enabled the interests of the state – i.e. increasing tax revenues or implementing regulatory policies – and the interests of private merchants – i.e. reducing high trade risks via the privileges granted them by the former – to converge. This paper shifts attention from the core of the system to a semi-periphery such as the Kingdom of Naples, where the history of chartered companies was not a success story precisely because such conditions were absent.
