Belle Époque Belgium recorded an unprecedented trade boom. Exploiting a new granular trade dataset, we find that the number of products delivered abroad and destinations serviced more than doubled in less than 40 years. To explain this remarkable achievement, we study the relationship between trade costs and the intensive and extensive margins of trade. The establishment of a foreign diplomatic network that lowered beachhead costs and enabled the entry of new products was an essential fact of the trade boom. Interestingly, the expansion in trade in certain sectors did not translate into faster productivity growth. We offer some explanations.

The Introduction to this edited volume explores the concept of sainthood in the context of modern and contemporary Chinese history, illustrating that the idea and the practice of sainthood remain vital in spite of the Chinese state’s consistent commitment to secularism as part of its strategy of state-building. In addition to providing necessary historical and historiographical contextualization, the Introduction also discusses the three main dimensions of sainthood—charisma, hagiography, and religious leadership—and provides examples of how the particular figures profiled in our volume both drew on tradition and innovated, and stood up to and compromised with political authorities. Chapter summaries are followed by a brief comparison with similar cases outside of the Chinese world. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the creativity and vitality of religious leadership, which seems generally undaunted by the frequent indifference and hostility of state actors.

Les auteures proposent une analyse du traitement médiatique du travail salarié des femmes mariées par le magazine télévisuel Femme d’aujourd’hui produit et diffusé par la Société Radio-Canada, de 1965 à 1982. Leurs résultats montrent que cette question a été amplement débattue et que les animatrices et les journalistes ont fortement encouragé le « recyclage » des mères pour les habiliter à réintégrer le marché du travail. Si l’émission en arrive à être très critique par rapport aux diverses formes de discrimination dont les femmes sont l’objet sur le marché de l’emploi, son discours demeure néanmoins en phase avec les idées féministes libérales dominantes de l’époque dont l’objectif est une meilleure intégration des femmes aux structures sociales existantes, plutôt qu’avec le courant plus radical qui estime que l’égalité des sexes nécessite un changement des modes d’organisation sociale.

Il y a deux façons de comprendre l’adjectif pontifical dans l’expression utilisée en titre. Dans le présent texte, selon l’usage de l’historiographie française, il s’agit de considérer la capacité de ponction du pape sur les temporels ecclésiastiques, et non de faire référence à une fiscalité de nature seigneuriale, fût-elle exercée au profit du pape, et découlant des pouvoirs et des droits exercés sur un territoire et sur les hommes y vivant. Nous utilisons ici les formules « appareil fiscal...

This article takes the Company of New France or CNF (1627-1663) as a case study to consider the legal dimensions of early modern chartered companies – how they established themselves, how they dealt with disputes, and how they exercised the regal powers delegated to them. Drawing on recent literature that challenges the entrenched notion of companies as exclusively economic entities, it considers the Company of New France as an experimentation with new tools of capital formation and governance. The article puts the CNF in comparison with other corporations and commercial associations in France as well as contemporary chartered companies in the Atlantic. While the company shared certain characteristics with other French corporations, notably a separate legal personality, responsibility for internal governance, and a contractual relationship with the king, as an overseas commercial and colonizing enterprise, the nature of its privileges, functions, and obligations were distinct. The paper’s final section considers challenges faced by the CNF in the execution of its mandate, particularly with the establishment of a new, ostensibly subordinate corporation, the Communauté des Habitants in 1645. The frictions between these two bodies underscore the inextricable ties between trade and effective governance in the colony.
