Doing Global History: An Introduction in 6 Concepts: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Doing Global History: An Introduction in 6 Concepts" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
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.

This book combines the thoughts and groundwork from many different discussions and scholarly contexts. It has grown over the course of many years, sometimes faster and sometimes slower. A number of clever, creative and patient people let themselves be drawn into the project, which both delights me and fills me with gratitude. I subjected Martin Dusinberre to many of my early ideas, and he rescued me from several. Andreas Hilger, Christoph Streb and Benedikt Stuchtey read the manuscript carefully and provided me with valuable insights. The members of our superb team at the Chair of Modern History at Heidelberg University and later LMU Munich spared neither themselves nor me. Ben Kamis translated the manuscript from German to English and from academese into understandable language. These people and others deserve my deepest thanks.
Global history tends to be overestimated especially in terms of its potential. The expectations made of it have escalated in step with the rapidly growing attention it has been attracting in the broader discipline of historical research. As German historian Sebastian Conrad, among others, observed in his recent and very accomplished introduction to global history, the original inspiration for a global approach to history emerged from the conviction of many historians that the analytical tools familiar to us can no longer provide an adequate interpretation of history in the age of globalization. Conrad has noted two defects that global history was not prepared to accept: the fixation on the nation state as the primary (and sometimes only) frame of reference and the concomitant methodological nationalism,
That is a noble goal, but it is no small challenge for a field that is still in its adolescence. And as global history comes to be more firmly established in the broader field of history, new tasks and challenges are constantly emerging. For example, in his prolegomenon to the inaugural issue of the Journal of Global History , Patrick OBrien prophesied that global historians would choose to liberate themselves from disciplinary boundaries, established chronologies and textual traditions for the construction of European, American, Indian, Japanese, Chinese or other national histories.
These thoroughly justifiable desiderata, which all speak to serious imbalances in historical research, imply in their sum heavy theoretical and methodological burdens for global history to carry. The defects that global history is to overcome are precisely the fundamental problems of theory and method that plague history as a field of study, ranging from the dangers of parochialism and the (im)possibility of objectivity to finding the proper scale for frames of reference and disciplinary boundaries. Taken to its logical conclusion, the research programme sketched previously is effectively a call for a basic reconceptualization of history that would necessarily entail new organizational forms and scholarly practices. Given the magnitude of these calls, global history alone cannot answer them by decentring, transcending the nation as a frame of reference or rendering disciplinary boundaries obsolete. The entire field of history must follow its example.
It should be no surprise that such an expectation which is in fact a whole collection of aspirations can quickly become overwhelming, which begs the question how one could possibly meet this expectation and with what tools. How exactly can global history address the problems that its own proponents have identified and simultaneously initiate a fundamental recalibration of historical research as a whole? In other words, what is global history after anyway? What questions drive it? And more importantly, how can the knowledge it produces be used to help overcome, say, Eurocentrism or methodological nationalism? There has already been much debate about the driving questions and objectives of global history, but it has unfortunately failed to take the next step and reconnect with the broader aims of the field. Dominic Sachsenmaier has suggested that defining global history presents a necessary impossibility. However, the related questions of what global history can achieve in the broader field of historical research, what means are at its disposal to make interventions, how its perspective and tools can help to make good on its considerable promise have been treated much less explicitly.
