- Abstract
This text is focused on Estado da Índia during the Habsburg government to analyse how Portuguese colonial agents and authorities used distance to resist pressures coming from decisionmaking centres. It aims at answering to a set of questions: How did Portuguese agents and authorities in Asia resist? To what? Why did they resist? Did the Union of the Portuguese and Castilian crowns provoke greater resistances? What were the consequences of this resistance? It will argue that, despite being a very particular kind of resistance, and a type of resistance often dissimulated, it was still a form of resistance to a greater power that had direct impacts on the evolution of the Portuguese territories in Asia.
