Transatlantic Transformations: Visualizing Change Over Time in the Liverpool–New York Trade Network, 1763–1833
本文通过三个阶段的网络可视化，展示了1763-1833年间利物浦-纽约贸易网络的动态变化，帮助理解商人网络如何应对风险并维持长期运作。
In the early modern Atlantic world, trade brought communities and commodities closer together and, as a result, many merchants became linked in expansive networks of exchange. The unstable nature of long-distance trade meant that these networks were continually being transformed. The Liverpool–New York trade network, in particular, underwent many changes between 1763 and 1833. The article aims to demonstrate how the use of network visualizations over three distinct phases (1760–1790, 1790–1815, and 1815–1833) can elucidate these changes and provide a different approach for studying the development of this trading community. These visualizations will serve to illustrate the extent to which this network was dynamic and further our understanding of how merchant networks sustained longevity and coped with risks in the ever-changing Atlantic world.
