La création des premiers bataillons de soldats coloniaux, incarnation de la puissance de l’empire colonial français, débute dans les années 1840 : tirailleurs algériens (1841), corps de spahis (1845) et tirailleurs « sénégalais » (1857), ces derniers devenus le symbole au cours de la Grande Guerre des troupes coloniales. A partir de 1910, du fait de la crise démographique que connaît la France, leur recrutement se renforce.

IISH has launched, together with the New Economic School (Moscow) and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Studies in History, Economy and Society (Moscow), an online database of historical statistics on the social and economic development of Russia over the last two centuries.

In the end of 2014, in Athens, the Greek Labour and Labour Movement History Network was created by about twenty historians. The impetus for creating the network was given by the realization that, while there is a significant number of labour history studies conducted in Greece these last years by young researchers, the communication between the historians studying labour and labour movement is insufficient.

The welfare state operates with regulations, rights and obligations that apply to everyone in the same way, requiring individuals to identify themselves as members of society first and foremost. In this sense, the welfare state is the antithesis of art. Many artists support the welfare state in both theory and practice, and they are fascinated by rules as such, but they have little interest in following rules formulated by others than themselves…
