Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

This lecture course offers an introduction into theories and methods of global history: how to deal with space and time, the role of personalities, single events and structures, micro and macro perspectives, short-term and long-term developments, social stratification and regional imbalances, just to name a few. We will approach these questions by accepting the claim of a new global history to take account of developments, and their entanglement, in various world regions without Eurocentric bias.
