Abstract

The specificities of Iberian monarchies and of their colonial experiences in America and in West Africa defined a configuration of the relationships of dominium and power in a Iberian-Atlantic perspective, which started in the end of the fifteenth century to the sixteenth. It was consolidated with the Iberian Union and started to decline in mid-1610. The conquest of the island Espanhola and the settlement of São Tomé, between 1493 and 1499, revealed the relation between the dominium upon the non Christian populations and the political power in the process of colonization. From that year on the Iberian Crowns started to interfere in the dominium relations upon the Indians and on the traffic of African slaves, to define their authority on the new societies established overseas. The rupture with the process of conquest was defined between 1542 and 1549, in West Indies by the establishment of viceroyalties and the Leyes Nuevas, and in Brazil by the institution of the general government and the sketch of an Indian policy. Between the decades of 1570 and 1590 an Iberian perspective of the monarchical power and the complementarity of dominium forms upon the Indians and Africans in the Atlantic were defined. The policy of Felipe III was the culmination of the process that defined the limits and resistances to the new architecture of power. (AU)
