  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.

  Post-doctorate researcher in Coinage in Ancient Greece

  Anchoring Work Package 4

  The use of minted coins was one of the major innovations in the ancient world of the first millennium BCE. Invented in Lydia in the seventh century, coinage spread rapidly throughout the Greek world, first in the Greek cities in Asia Minor, next to Aegina and Athens and soon to the other cities across the Aegean and Mediterranean area. Before the introduction of minted coins, exchange was largely based on weights of precious metals, in smaller amounts weighed on scales, a practice to which striking fixed weights of metal seems just a small and logical step. Yet the swift success of coinage, evidenced by rapidly increasing number of Greek poleis adopting the new medium, shows that the potential of coins to surpass weighed bullion in practical use for all kinds of transactions was recognised early on.

  Repenser la Méditerranée: questions d’histoire et d’historiographie en Méditerranée orientale

  Histoire(s) de la Méditerranée / histoire(s) en Méditerranée

  L’atelier doctoral Histoire(s) de la Méditerranée ou Histoire(s) en Méditerranée propose un cadre international d’échanges et de questionnements analytiques et méthodologiques sur la Méditerranée. Il envisage d’interroger la manière dont les chercheurs abordent deux volets qui, en fait, reflètent la Méditerranée en tant qu’entité historique et géographique, en tant qu’objet d’historiographie, ou encore en tant que catégorie analytique.

  Le Maghreb dans les relations internationales

  Diplomaties et crises

  L’intention de ce colloque est d’inaugurer une réflexion appelée à se prolonger par une recherche collective sur le Maghreb dans l’histoire des relations internationales. Elle s’inscrit également dans un contexte bien particulier, celui d’une volonté d’accès simplifié aux archives tunisiennes contemporaines et d’une démarche de la part des Marocains depuis 2012 de récolter et de trier leurs archives nationales.
