Description
- Abstract:
- Between 1481-1640, the Portuguese Crown took a reactive and proactive normative position in terms of naval management. The realization of their imperial projects depended private initiatives. Attracting these individuals for an unappealing activity, due to the related naval losses, was done through their promotion and incentive, with exemptions and privileges. This activity gained strength in the face of a reality of avoiding recruitment and lack of qualified labour. These individuals knew how to take advantage of dependency, by negotiating and pressuring royal power to feed their personal interests.
- Entre 1481-1640, a Coroa Portuguesa assumiu uma posição normativa reativa e pró-ativa a nível da gestão naval. A concretização dos seus projetos imperiais dependeu da iniciativa particular. Captar estes indivíduos, para uma atividade não atrativa, devido às perdas navais relacionadas, fez-se através da sua promoção e incentivo, com isenções e privilégios. Esta atuação ganhou força perante uma realidade de fuga ao recrutamento e de falta de mão-de-obra qualificada. Desta dependência, estes indivíduos souberam tirar proveito para dela negociarem e pressionarem o poder régio para alimentarem os seus interesses pessoais.
