This section consists of four essays that explore port issues from national perspectives, balanced against international and global issues, and local political and geographic concerns. The case studies explore the following topics: the northwest Portuguese seaport system in the early modern period; discourse and container revolution in Finland in the 1960s and 1970s; the ports of northern Chile in relation to its mining history; and the globalisation and privatisation of the ports of Turkey.

‘Pandemics and epidemics’ starts by looking at the conventional picture of the history of plague which divides it into three long pandemics, each of them made up of a series of separate but closely connected epidemics, in particular places, extending over centuries. The ‘Plague of Justinian’, the ‘Black Death’, and the epidemics in India and China in the late 1800s are useful case studies. How do plagues appear and disappear? The European defences against plague in the early modern period included quarantine precautions. Quarantine created protective thresholds which reduced the risk of plague retaining its hold across the whole European mainland.

Se fondant sur une citation de Pierre Lavedan sur le rôle des « traceurs de villes » de l’Amérique coloniale, cet article souligne, à travers quelques carrières d’ingénieurs militaires envoyés en Nouvelle-France aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, le large spectre d’activités développées par ces agents du roi oeuvrant au service de l’État monarchique. Si leurs projets sont aujourd’hui bien connus, leur rôle de promotion du pouvoir royal en territoire colonial, reste un sujet rarement abordé en histoire de l’architecture. L’étude de leurs projets de portes et de places royales notamment révèle pourtant combien ils ont servi la cause monarchique avec constance et loyauté malgré un agenda politique métropolitain souvent peu favorable à la réalisation de leurs projets.While the plans of French military engineers active in the American colonies during the Early Modern period have been frequently published, their professional status and the role that they played as architects and urban planners remains unclear. Sent overseas between the end of the seventeenth and the middle of the eighteenth centuries, these royal agents were dependent on a number of administrative and political changes. Based on case studies of the French engineers who built or remodeled the colonial cities of Montreal, Quebec City, Detroit and Louisburg, this article reflects on the wide scope of activities and professional status that these polymaths developed in the Americas before 1763.

Over the course of the early modern period, political and religious upheavals in England led to the formation of many different expatriate communities on the Continent and in North America. As Catholics, Protestants, Nonconformists, and Royalists lived in exile, they established three major sorts of communities: lay congregations; educational institutions; and monastic houses. Examining texts produced by and for representative examples of each group (the Marian congregation at Geneva, the English colleges at Rheims and Rome, and the Third Order Franciscan convent in Brussels), this chapter offers case studies of the way that exiled communities adapted certain forms of writing in order to develop and express a collective religious identity. In doing so, members of these groups negotiated their relationships with one another, the English nation, and the broader Continental religious community.
