Abstract
My task is to discuss the galactic context of star formation and to consider how large-scale phenomena in the Galaxy can influence the processes of star formation. This review, and the whole of the first session, are supposed to set the stage for the later consideration of protostellar and prestellar objects and smaller-scale effects in general.
