Globalization is the buzz-word of today. It envelops our world, but
it also has long historical roots. This edited volume shows how the
universal principles embodied in the process of globalization have
interacted with diverse localities across the globe during the past
two centuries. A. G. Hopkins presents a collection of fresh case
studies that draw on different parts of the world - ranging from
the Navajo reservation to Japan, via the Middle East and Vietnam -
and cover various types of history: economic, political, social,
cultural and intellectual. Hopkins's Introduction places the new
global history in the context of national history and world
history; William H. McNeill, the pioneering historian of
large-scale history, concludes the volume with a reflective
Afterword. The historical record demonstrates that globalization
has not only produced uniformity but has also reinforced
difference. Global History offers a coherent explanation of these
diverging outcomes, and in doing so points towards a new type of
world history. It is essential reading for anyone studying
international history, world history, globalization, or world
politics.
