The field of Global History has experienced an unprecedented boom
in the last two decades and carved itself deeply into the practice
of historical research. Despite this, its conceptual foundations
have rarely been explored. This introduction to what Global History
is brings together theory and practice with 6 key concepts,
delivered through 6 accessible case studies. Re-evaluating the
central concerns and key approaches in the field, it offers an
up-to-date discussion of the foundations of Global History, its
guiding questions, and principal methods 'at work'. Doing Global
History offers students valuable insights into the ways general
concepts can be used and applied when doing historical research.
The 6 concepts- connections, actors, structures, space, time and
transit- and their accompanying examples will not only help readers
to get a solid grasp of what global history means, but will
stimulate further engagement in the field. Wenzlhuemer successfully
shows that global history is best considered as a perspective, not
a theory or paradigm, and guides the reader through ways it can be
used in practice to draw new and exciting conclusions. Tailored for
classroom and student use, this book will be invaluable to advanced
undergraduates and postgraduates of Global History.
