Call for articles for Special Issue in Scandinavian Economic History Review "Patent history and economic growth: Institutional frameworks, practices, and global perspectives"
This special issue seeks to deepen our understanding of the historical role of patent systems in fostering innovation and economic growth. Patents have been critical in shaping economic activity, influencing industrial policy, and promoting technological progress. However, the complexities surrounding patent systems—both in terms of their institutional development and their economic impact—warrant further scholarly exploration. This special issue aims to address such complexities and provide a comprehensive view of how patent systems have evolved and interacted with economic growth.The focus on patent history will contribute to ongoing debates on the relationship between legal institutions and economic outcomes, offering new insights into how patents have functioned as both enablers and barriers to innovation throughout history.

Η ελληνική εμπορική ναυτιλία στα χρόνια του Ελευθερίου Βενιζέλου
Τζελίνα Χαρλαύτη (επιμ.) (2024)
Οι μελέτες αυτού του τόμου, στηριγμένες σε νέα αρχειακή έρευνα, αναδεικνύουν με διεξοδικό και αναλυτικό τρόπο τη σημασία και τις επιπτώσεις του εκσυγχρονισμού και των μεταρρυθμίσεων του θεσμικού, διοικητικού και οικονομικού πλαισίου της χώρας κατά τη διάρκεια των κυβερνήσεων Βενιζέλου, σε ό,τι είχε σχέση με τη θάλασσα: την εμπορική ναυτιλία, την αλιεία, τα λιμάνια και τις λιμενικές υποδομές των νέων εδαφών της χώρας. Η προσαρμογή στις διεθνείς ευρωπαϊκές εξελίξεις, η επικράτηση της νέας τεχνολογίας του ατμού, οι ελληνικές και ξένες ατμοπλοϊκές γραμμές και η επέκταση του ελληνικού κράτους με την προσάρτηση νέων εδαφών, επέβαλλαν τις αλλαγές για τη νέα εποχή της Ελλάδας στον 20ό αιώνα. Επί κυβερνήσεων Βενιζέλου δημιουργήθηκε η Διεύθυνση Εμπορικού Ναυτικού/Υφυπουργείο Εμπορικής Ναυτιλίας, το Λιμενικό Σώμα, ο Οργανισμός Λιμένος Πειραιώς, η πρώτη Δημόσια Ναυτική Σχολή Πλοιάρχων στην Ύδρα καθώς και όλη η νομοθεσία για την προστασία της ναυτικής εργασίας, για να αναφέρουμε μόνο μερικές από τις μεταρρυθμίσεις που άφησαν πίσω την Παλαιά Ελλάδα και έφεραν μια νέα εποχή.

Tobacco in Global Perspective, 1780–1960.Trade, Knowledge, and Labour
Alexander van Wickeren, Jean Stubbs, William Gervase Clarence-Smith (επιμ.) (2024)
This edited collection provides an in-depth analysis of the imperial, colonial, and postcolonial history of tobacco from 1780 to 1960, which was one of the major periods of change in the global tobacco economy. It brings together case-studies from known and lesser-known tobacco regions of the world to interrogate tobacco’s ‘second globalisation’, a concept little employed by historians thus far, but one which encapsulates tobacco’s central role in Europe’s imperial expansion beyond the Atlantic and the social, political, and cultural transformations of global capitalism taking place during the period. The collection fills a gap in the study of commodities of empire, which has examined tobacco primarily for the early modern Atlantic world, or for single empires during the later period. It invites comparison across borders, encompassing political, economic, and sociocultural history, and, with a particular emphasis on trade, knowledge, and labour, juxtaposes micro-histories with a macro-historical perspective. Together, the studies in the volume testify to the importance of tobacco in new places and among new players, challenging the confines of national and imperial historiographical frameworks. They demonstrate the rising dominance of new powerful forces, including transnational corporations, but also a wide range of actors in conflict and negotiation within territorial and imperial confines. By systematically taking into account the agency in Europe’s apparent peripheries and the Global South, they critique a simple assumption of the dominance of the West.
