We have computed simplified globular cluster evolutionary tracks which take into account the effects of internal relaxation, of the cluster rotation, of the galactic tidal field, and, in a cruder way, of stellar evolution and of gravitational shocking. The objectives are first to quantify the influence of rotation in the dynamical evolution of globular clusters; and second, to investigate the evolution of globular cluster angular momentum and flattening (Lagoute and Longaretti 1995a, Longaretti and Lagoute 1995b,c).
