This course is an interdisciplinary introduction into the practice of transnational and global history, helping to go beyond the Euro-centric understanding of human culture and society. It also offers a historical overview of the evolution of comparative and transnational historical gaze, from the classic texts of the interwar period up to the beginning of the 21st century. It analyses a number of nodal points such as transfers, colonialism, globalization, as well as global economic and political structures and institutions in the past and the present. It also engages with special research fields and scholarly debates emerging recently, such as the one on “global socialism” and non-European conceptions of globalization.
