The blooming era of precision astrometry for Galactic studies truly brings the rich internal dynamics of globular clusters to the centre stage. But several aspects of our current understanding of fundamental collisional stellar dynamics cannot match such new-generation data and the theoretical ambitions they trigger. This rapidly evolving context offers the stimulus to address a number of old and new questions concerning the phase space properties of this class of stellar systems.
