This chapter aims at drawing attention to the role of the Spanish
Empire in the circulation of technology and technological knowledge
during this epoch. It focuses on the role of informal institutions and
social networks regulating such circulation and examines the relationship
between political power and the control of technological knowledge, as
well as the often-simplified interplay between globalization and empire.
