| Abstract | It is undeniable that with the birth of E.U., Europe reached an extraordinary level of free circulation of people, goods, and culture across the continent. Nonetheless, during the Middle Ages, Europe already attained a considerable degree of social, economic, and cultural integration. This panel considers the Portuguese role in this process, challenging the traditional view of Portugal as belonging to a European 'periphery'. To achieve this goal, we will focus on three case studies. First, the maritime and commercial Euro-Atlantic connections of Porto. Second, Portugal as an economic agent in the Mediterranean. Third, the circulation of musicians between Portugal and Europe. |
