| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the role and the significance of the English Channel in early modern France through the movements of people and things and from the view point of "appropriation" of the sea.. First of all, we clarified that several lines were drawn on the English Channel as a result of repeated negotiations about the territorial limit, the exclusive fishing zone and the custom control zone between France and England in this period. We consider that this situation was the origin of the formation of international maritime law.
Secondly, we inspected the characteristics of the French slave trade through the examination of the maritime state of affairs (for example, slave trade ship, funds and cargoes invested in the project) and the "seamen" engaged in the trade.We made sure that the slave trade wan not so much profitable as the abolitionist had formerly insisted, but that English trade system was more efficient than that of France from a comparative point of view..
