What is Global History

About This Novel

Global history is currently a rapidly developing and hotly debated field in the history discipline. It has also become a dynamic and innovative subject in the field of historical research. It takes the coherence of the world as a whole as its starting point and effectively challenges our previous historical methods. "What is Global History" provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting new approach in history and explores some of the major questions that the global history discipline will face in the 21st century: How does global history differ from other interpretations of world history? How do we get rid of Eurocentrism without falling into a new centrism and write a global history? How do historians compare many communities and find compatibility across regions? What are the political implications of global history? This book also explores the limitations and even risks of this new paradigm, as well as the audience of global history and many other issues in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. "What is Global History" carefully analyzes the rise, characteristics, methodology, prospects and limitations of global history. The author Sebastian Conrad is a leading figure in current global history research. He believes that global history is both an object of study and a unique way of looking at history; it is both a process and a perspective; it is both a research subject and a methodology; the core concerns of global history are flows, exchanges, various cross-border events, and large-scale structural transformation and integration processes. How can historians redraw the historical picture for our current globalized world by understanding world history as a whole? This book will give you the answer.
