This new volume argues that globalization is not a new and exotic
phenomenon. Instead it emphasizes 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.
Contemporary concerns about globalization are hard to avoid.
Growing interdependence benefits some and marginalizes others.
History is often described from a local perspective, making events
seem particularistic and disconnected, rather than being enmeshed
in a much larger network of interdependent events. Studying
globalization from the vantage point of long-term global history
permits theoretical and empirical investigation allowing the
contributors to this volume 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.
This interdisciplinary volume includes chapters written by
historians, sociologists and political scientists. It will appeal
to anyone interested in globalization and its origins.
