- Uma cabeça sem corpo : reflexões em torno da Malaca portuguesa : 1511-1641Publication . Pinto, Paulo Jorge de SousaThe conquest of Melaka by Afonso de Albuquerque was a feat of arms celebrated by poets and chroniclers and traditionally referred to as a major achievement in the settlement of Portuguese Estado da Índia. However, some questions may be raised concerning its real significance: the decision of taking the city by force and its possible misjudgement; how Melaka was far from Goa and the main centres of Portuguese presence in Asia and completely depended upon local conditions; the strategies developed by the Portuguese that allowed the city to survive in a potentially hostile environment and, finally, the arrival of the Dutch in Southeast Asian waters and the collapse of Melaka’s former position.

- Enemy at the gates: Macao, Manila and the "Pinhal Episode" (end of the 16th century)Publication . Pinto, Paulo Jorge de SousaAt the end of the 16th Century the authorities in Canton allowed a Spanish vessel to stay in the port of ‘Pinhal’. She had been sent by the governor of Manila with the likely aim of opening a direct channel of communication and trade between Guangdong and the Philippines. Macao reacted immediately, vigorously albeit cautiously, considering this a threat to its role as intermediary in China’s contacts with the exterior. It was the climax in the heightening tension between the Portuguese, who had reached the Far East almost a century earlier, and the Spanish who had recently settled on the island of Luzon. Although a brief, inconsequent period, it nevertheless assumed great importance within the framework of the disputes between the Portuguese and the Spanish in Asia, but also of the relationship between them, China and Japan. This article attempts to analyse the ‘Pinhal episode’ in the light of the unstable, complex political and diplomatic context of the time and of the region, presenting an attempted reconstitution of the events in view of the available sources and linking this unusual event to various issues involving Macao’s role and function and the effects of Castilian competition on access to several routes, ports and markets of the Far East.
- «Estos enemigos ladrones que tenemos contra nuestra voluntad» - Notas e Observações acerca dos Sangleys de ManilaPublication . Pinto, Paulo Jorge de SousaThe Chinese community of Manila – locally known as sangleys – is one of the most interesting and important issues concerning the evolution of the city as an emporium throughout the centuries, since the settlement of the Spaniards in the 1570’s. Being a problem that involves not only historical information but raises several questions about identity, social role and memory, and a current issue in present-day Philippines, we attempt to draw the course of the sangley community of Manila, in a vol d’oiseau view since the 16th Century to the present.
