Abstract: Studies on the Spanish Pacific have been booming during recent years.The field is huge, diverse, and developing at a fast pace.Rather than surveying it as a whole, 1 this review essay addresses selected sets of recent publications (indicated at the beginning of each section) in order to present and discuss three intertwined yet distinct research strategies: the move beyond economy-driven narratives of the Manila Galleon; new perspectives on the trans-Pacific trade, migrations, and cultural exchanges; and the focus on competing visions of the Pacific.The concluding section points to some potentialities and challenges foregrounded by the reviewed publications.
