Global History at CEU puts a focus on Europe, Africa, Asia, and history spanning transcontinental spaces, from late antiquity to the 21st century. The new global history rethinks cultural interaction, global inequality, patterns of socio-economic development, and historical periodization. Faculty members study intellectual history, the global diffusion of religious and political ideas, the history of art and material culture, international relations, and border-crossing social and political movements. Research pursued within the Austrian Cluster of Excellence "EurAsian Transformations", with its focus on the longue durée of transfer and transformation processes across the entire Eurasian space, forms an important part of the activities.
