Abstract:The Swiss Canton of Neuchâtel was able to develop and become one of the country’s economic poles—particularly in the export of watches—thanks to the movement of emigrants to Europe and European immigrants to Switzerland. At the same time, missionaries, explorers, and businessmen left Neuchâtel to travel to the colonial world. Historiography has never linked these two migratory phenomena. This article aims to fill this gap. On the one side, it will provide an overview of the existing historiography. On the other, through some case studies, it will propose evidence and new research approaches. The result will be an invitation to de-Europeanize the history of Neuchâtel in order to inscribe it into the global history of the colonial era.

Title:Gospodarske in družbene posledice kolonialnega izseljevanja na kanton Neuchâtel skozi »dolgo 19. stoletje«
Abstract:Švicarski kanton Neuchâtel se je lahko razvil in postal eno od gospodarskih središč države – zlasti na področju izvoza ur – zahvaljujoč izseljevanju v Evropo in priseljevanju Evropejcev v Švico. Hkrati so iz Neuchâtla na potovanja v kolonialne države odhajali misijonarji, raziskovalci in poslovneži. Teh dveh migracijskih pojavov zgodovinarji do sedaj niso nikoli povezovali, namen tega prispevka pa je zapolniti to vrzel. Avtorja na eni strani podajata pregled obstoječega zgodovinopisja na to temo, na drugi strani pa s pomočjo nekaterih študij primerov predstavita podatke in predlagata nove raziskovalne pristope. Na podlagi navedenega pozivata k deevropeizaciji zgodovine tega kantona ter k njegovi vključitvi globalno zgodovino kolonialnega obdobja.
Keywords:kolonialne migracije, kolonialna trgovina, gospodarski razvoj, gospodarske in družinske mreže, deevropeizacija
