Globalization and Global History argues that globalization is not
an exotic and new phenomenon. Instead it emphasises that
globalization is something that has been with us as long as there
have been people who are both interdependent and aware of that
fact. Studying globalization from the vantage point of long-term
global history permits theoretical and empirical investigation,
allowing the authors collected to assess the extent of ongoing
transformations and to compare them to earlier iterations. With
this historical advantage, the extent of ongoing changes - which
previously appeared unprecedented - can be contrasted to similar
episodes in the past. The book is divided into three sections. The
first focuses on how globalization has been written about from a
historical perspective. The second part advances three different
takes on how best to view globalization from a very long-term
stance. The final section continues this interpretative thread by
examining more narrow aspects of globalization processes, ranging
from incorporation processes to systemic disruptions. This
interdisciplinary volume includes chapters written by historians,
sociologists and political scientists.
