Until very recently, historians have looked at the past with the tools of the nineteenth century. But globalization has fundamentally altered our ways of knowing, and it is no longer possible to study nations in isolation or to understand world history as emanating from the West. This book reveals why the discipline of global history has emerged as the most dynamic and innovative field in history—one that takes the connectedness of the world as its point of departure, and that poses a fundamental challenge to the premises and methods of history as we know it.
What Is Global History? provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting new approach to history. The book addresses some of the biggest questions the discipline will face in the twenty-first century: How does global history differ from other interpretations of world history? How do we write a global history that is not Eurocentric yet does not fall into the trap of creating new centrisms? How can historians compare different societies and establish compatibility across space? What are the politics of global history? This in-depth and accessible book also explores the limits of the new paradigm and even its dangers, the question of whom global history should be written for, and much more.
Written by a leading expert in the field, What Is Global History? shows how, by understanding the world's past as an integrated whole, historians can remap the terrain of their discipline for our globalized present.

第一章 导语 面对网络化，全球化的世界现状，全球史超越了现代社会科学和人文学科的两个“先天缺陷”（与民族国家捆绑，具有浓重的欧洲中心论色彩），在近十年中发展迅速。作者将全球史分为三类:作为万物的全球史（as the history of everything）; 作为联系史的全球史（as the...

很有用。基本涵盖了各个书写全球史的方法并列出了各个方法的好处与坏处。最后反思了全球史，认为全球史可能会削弱个人能动性，并创造出另一个过度放大连接和移民的扭曲世界。不过他关注的主要是人。他提出的反例是有些人一辈子都没旅行过。但是人不旅行物会旅行呀。

本书首先指出了全球史的几种可能：包含一切的全球史，强调联系和流动的全球史，以及把区域问题纳入到全球语境进行分析的全球史。之后本书分析了全球史在概念（时间、空间等）和方法论上的可能性。最后指出了全球史面临的现实挑战（如英语霸权）和学术挑战（比如历史上的跨国者并不一定有代表性）。很难看到一本这样在每段话都能体现出深厚学术功力的作品......优秀的史学理论著作。

好书，感觉像教科书，能够以一套体系把之前的学术思潮都纳入其中，清晰地梳理与评述/有一些小标题很有意思/不过没有看过其他全球史的导引类书籍，未作比较/中国一直被@/很适合练习英语阅读
