-'''Proto-globalization''' or '[[early modern]] globalization' is a period of the [[history of globalization]] roughly spanning the years between 1600 and 1800. First introduced by historians [[A. G. Hopkins]] and [[Christopher Bayly]], the term describes the phase of increasing trade links and cultural exchange that characterized the period immediately preceding the advent of so-called 'modern [[globalization]]' in the nineteenth century.+#A [[seventeenth]]-[[century]] [[joint-stock company]] founded to [[trade]] with [[India]] to [[Britain]]'s [[advantage]]
- +==See also==
-Proto-globalization distinguished itself from [[modern globalization]] on the basis of expansionism, the method of managing global trade, and the level of information exchange. The period of proto-globalization is marked by such trade arrangements as the [[East India Company]], the shift of [[hegemony]] to Western Europe, the rise of larger-scale conflicts between powerful nations such as the Thirty Year War, and a rise of new commodities—most particularly [[slave trade]]. [[The Triangular Trade]] made it possible for Europe to take advantage of resources within the western hemisphere. The transfer of plant and animal crops and epidemic diseases associated with [[Alfred Crosby]]'s concept of [[The Columbian Exchange]] also played a central role in this process. Proto-globalization trade and communications involved a vast group including [[Europe]]an, [[Muslim]], [[India]]n, [[Southeast Asia]]n and [[China|Chinese]] merchants, particularly in the [[Indian Ocean]] region.+* [[History of India]]

-The transition from proto-globalization to [[modern globalization]] was marked with a more complex global network based on both capitalistic and technological exchange; however, it led to a significant collapse in cultural exchange.+* [[History of South Asia|History of South Asia series]]
