  A global history of free ports

  Capitalism, commerce and geopolotics (1600-1900)

  Exactly how free ports arose in early-modern Europe is still subject to debate. Livorno, Genoa and other Italian cities became famous as major examples of a particular way of attracting trade. Between the late eighteenth and the nineteenth century the existence of free ports – as specific fiscal, cultural, political and economic entities with different local functions and characteristics – developed from an Italian and European into a global phenomenon. While a general history of free ports – from their first emergence to the present-day special economic zones – has never been written, this research network aims to pave the way for such an enterprise. The history of free ports research network is organising a number of conferences in the next years, in order to work towards a standard publication and interactive research platform for the history of free ports from the XVI^th to the early XX^th century.

  The Economy in writing: Medieval and Modern Economic records and their use

  7th summer school of economic history

  La septième école d’été d’histoire économique, qui se réunira à Suse (Piémont, Italie) les 27, 28 et 29 août 2018, aura comme thème « Les écritures de l’économie aux époques médiévale et moderne : de l’enregistrement de l’activité à l’usage des documents ». La vie économique implique le recours à l’écriture et la maîtrise de compétences multiples, qui vont de la mise par écrit des titres de propriété aux différentes techniques permettant de mesurer la circulation des flux d’objets produits ou d’argent entre les parties. Les organisateurs, reprenant des thèmes désormais familiers aussi bien aux médiévistes qu’aux modernistes, désirent travailler sur la question des rationalités pratiques telles qu’elles se dévoilent à travers les opérations qui peuvent être énoncées à l’aide des verbes, écrire, compter, mesurer.

  Interrogating the “Trente glorieuses”

  Models of Statehood in Postwar Europe

  Understanding the Trente glorieuses not as a political-economic realitybut as a specific model of statehood with specific ideologicalunderpinnings opens a new way of looking at this period. At thisconference we want to reevaluate the political and intellectualpreconceptions on which the post-war decades are based and investigatetheir diffusion and circulation in democratic and non-democraticEuropean contexts. Focusing on the whole of Europe and not merely on astylized Western European model will allow us to broaden ourunderstanding of this time period and highlight concrete understandingsof statehood, the economy and democratic government. Examining thestatus, the adaptations and variations of the trente glorieuses modeland its synonyms across different political and social contexts inEurope after 1945 will allow us to reflect on the construction of thistime period in historical, political and economic thought.
