  Spanish syndicalism within the framework of international relations

  The case of the General Workers Unions (1888-1986)

  The emergence of a labour movement, of socialist obedience, more specifically, in Spain, goes hand in hand with internationalism. From its creation, in 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT) has tried to incorporate the international labour movement. Thus, through time, UGT joined the main organizations such as the International Federation of Trade Unions, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions and the European Trade Union Confederation. The UGT also takes part in the work by the International Labour Organization and fosters relations with other foreign organisations. Finally, the UTG is involved with international solidarity groups and organisations dealing with social security like the Democratic Solidary organisation in Spain. To this day, few studies have been conducted on the importance of those links on the growth of the UGT, notably at some crucial moments of its existence such as the Francoist dictatorship and the transition towards democracy. These relations played a decisive part in the survival of  socialist trade unions.

  Cities and States in Spain and Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries

  Exchanges and political, military and economic interactions

  Aux XV^e et XVI^e siècles, le triple faisceau d'échanges et d’interactions politiques, économiques et militaires entre les villes et les États des deux péninsules, entre lesquels se développent de nouvelles modalités de gouvernement, de nouvelles techniques militaires et de nouvelles formes d'échanges économiques au sens large (fiscalité, finance, commerce, industrie), constitue un véritable laboratoire de la modernité. L'objectif de ce colloque est de réunir des spécialistes de la fin du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance (historiens, italianistes et hispanistes) venus d’Espagne, de France et d’Italie pour réfléchir à la manière dont les échanges politiques, militaires et économiques entre « l’Espagne » et « l’Italie » aux XV^e et XVI^e ont contribué aux mutations et au développement des États et des métropoles des deux péninsules, préalablement à la construction des futurs États-nations.

  A Restauração de Portugal (1640-1668): antigas tradições e novas perspectivas

  A Restauração, título dado à insurreição que pôs fim a sessenta anos de união dinástica entre o reino lusitano e a monarquia hispânica, é sem dúvida um dos principais eventos da história de Portugal. Não por acaso a escrita da história do movimento de dezembro de 1640 e dos vinte e oito anos de guerra que se lhe seguiram foi objeto de uma intensa instrumentalização política. De bode expiatório dos males do país a estandarte do orgulho nacional, o século XVII português foi durante muito tempo representado segundo as cores de ideologias que não procuravam no passado senão os elementos de justificação de suas doutrinas.
