Early dynamical evolution of star cluster systems

Violent relaxation -- the protocluster dynamical response to the expulsion of its residual star forming gas -- is a short albeit crucial episode in the evolution of star clusters and star cluster systems. Because it is heavily driven by cluster formation and environmental conditions, it is a potentially highly rewarding phase in terms of probing star formation and galaxy evolution. In this contribution I review how cluster formation and environmental conditions affect the shape of the young cluster mass function and the relation between the present star formation rate of galaxies and the mass of their young most massive cluster.
