  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 Maghreb in International Relations

  Diplomacy and 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.
