In contrast to public claims of the early 1990s, space and geographies have not lost their central role in defining an ever more globalized world. We still live in territorialized spaces: not only in the narrow sense of states and societies that reside within their borders, but also geographies and spatial formats on regional and world scales. Research in the aftermath of the spatial turn in the humanities and social sciences is increasingly drawing our attention to the importance of understanding large-scale spatial dynamics for global history.

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.

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.
