Daniel Beauvois, The "Asiatic system" of Jean Potocki: oriental dreams in the Empires of Alexander I and of Napoleon, 1806-1808.
The published texts define the policy that Jean Potocki, one of the rare Polish experts on Asia at the beginning of the nineteenth century, wanted Russia to adopt in 1806. Member of the fruitless expedition of Count I. A. Golovkin in China, he drew the lesson from the errors committed. The "Asiatic system" is a real work on colonialism, in five short memoirs, advising on the policy to be followed in connection with Trans-Caucasia, Iran, India and China. The system — premature in 1806 as far as Russians were concerned — aroused the interest of Napoleon's agents during the optimistic period which followed the treaty of Tilsitt: the French Embassy of St. Petersburg sent its summary to Paris in 1808.
