A los cincuenta años de su fallecimiento. Una nueva generación de investigadores valora la obra del historiador Serra Ràfols (1972-2022)
One way to commemorate the legacy of an intellectual —in this case, that of the historian Elías Serra Ràfols— is to reflect on the imprint of his contribution and probe his presence today, when five decades have passed since his death. There are many ways to verify his impact as a researcher in historiography and the validity of many of his postulates, contributions, methodology, human values... We have opted, as a complement to the article by Bl…
No dockers, no empire. The labour question at Dakar during World War I

This article analyses the changes in labour organization in the port during World War I. Based on archival sources held in the National Archives of Senegal, this study explores the ways in which the colonial administration tried to manage labour shortages on the…

Les dockers dakarois. L’organisation du travail dans un port ouest-africain, 1910–1990s
This paper deals with the long-term evolution of dock labor in Dakar. Through the utilization of archival sources and their analysis, this investigation explores the changes that occurred in this sector and primarily the reform plan developed during the world wars but that was never introduced into the labor regulations, mainly due to the colonial regime. In addition, this paper studies the legal changes since the 1970s when the dockers’ statute …
Path dependence and change in the Spanish port system in the long run (1880–2014): An historical perspective
The aim of this article is to describe and explain the evolution of the Spanish port system and its main ports over the long run. Building on the literature on path dependence and port evolution, we set up an analytical framework with three broad driving factors – economic, technological and institutional – in order to explain path dependence and change in the ranking of the largest Spanish ports. The port system shows a trend towards de-concentr…
Dockers in Las Palmas: Technological changes, institutional evolution and waterfront radicalism (1960-2009)
Container shipping has constituted a revolution in trade on a planetary scale. Ports have had to change their infrastructures in order to incorporate the requisite technology, which has modified the historical trade networks around the World. The port of Las Palmas (Canary Islands) adapted its infrastructures and its institutional environment in order to develop the container activity that was added to its historical functions as scale port. The …

Un des objectifs du groupement scientifi…

A influência do comércio exterior na configuração da hierarquia portuária no Senegal: Processos De Concentração E Exclusão Na Periferia Da Economia Global (1880-1939)
As cidades portuárias do Sul Global foram elementos-chave na introdução de seus hinterlands nos fluxos econômicos da globalização desde o último terço do século XIX. No caso do Senegal, a tendência é similar, revelando como a hierarquia urbana se deslocou para os portos oceânicos, expressando o maior grau de extroversão econômica. A evolução do comércio exterior da colônia marcou os movimentos nas hierarquias urbanas, unidos ao desenvolvimento da…
