Since the 1970s West German historiography has been one of the main
arenas of international comparative history. It has produced
important empirical studies particularly in social history as well
as methodological and theoretical reflections on comparative
history. During the last twenty years however, this approach has
felt pressure from two sources: cultural historical approaches,
which stress microhistory and the construction of cultural transfer
on the one hand, global history and transnational approaches with
emphasis on connected history on the other. This volume introduces
the reader to some of the major methodological debates and to
recent empirical research of German historians, who do comparative
and transnational work.
