Globalgeschichte/Global History

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Globalgeschichte/Global History is an academic journal dedicated to researching and communicating global historical contexts and publishes articles in both German and English.[1] The biannual journal, which has been published since 2023, is primarily aimed at historians working in academia who deal with global issues, but also at a broader audience interested in the history of global interdependencies.[2]

Contents

[edit]

The academic essays, debate contributions and literature reports in the journal deal with transnational interactions and processes, such as cultural exchange and the spread of ideas across continents, the history of world trade and economic globalisation, migration movements, imperialism, colonialism or the global impact of ecological developments. The journal supports an interdisciplinary approach and incorporates research findings from various other disciplines such as art history, ethnology and political science.[3]

Legacy

[edit]

Globalgeschichte/Global History is the successor to the Jahrbuch für Europäische Überseegeschichte (Yearbook for European Overseas History, published 2001-2022), which was edited by the Gesellschaft für Überseegeschichte e. V. (Society for Overseas History). As the Eurocentric perspective of the yearbook, which is reflected in its name, no longer reflects the further development of historical discourse, the association was renamed the Gesellschaft für Globalgeschichte e.V. and the yearbook was renamed "Globalgeschichte / Global History" in 2022 as part of a conceptual and methodological reorientation of the society. The bilingual title also emphasises the journal's claim to international relevance and receptivity.[4]

Editors

[edit]

The German editors of Globalgeschichte/Global History are the German-American historian Mark Häberlein, chairman of the Gesellschaft für Globalgeschichte, and his colleagues Markus A. Denzel, Christine Hatzky and Jürgen G. Nagel.[5]
