• Resumen

  • The relaunch of foreign trade was an important aspect of Charles of Bourbon’spolicy. The Ottoman Empire was no longer perceived by the educated elites and theEuropean governments’ apparatuses as a threatening entity. Therefore, doing business inthe Levant was possible, as Venice, England and, now in hegemonic position, Francehad done for a long time. Already in the years in which the kingdoms of Naples andSicily had belonged to the emperor Charles VI, treaties had already been stipulatedwith the Sublime Porte and with the Barbarian regencies. Charles of Bourbon triedto do the same with equal conviction, in agreement with his royal parents Philip Vand Elisabeth Farnese. This article attempts to assess the developments, limits andpotential of the political action undertaken to accomplish this end.
