The field of global history has emerged in the context of a mobile and connected world. Against the background, that the Cold War notion of self-contained and separate ‘East’ and ‘West’ is no longer valid also nation-states became less relevant for a historical perspective. Global history focuses on mobility. Thus, research includes themes like the movement of people (migration) and ideas (religious ideas or ideas about legitimate structures of government); the movement of things (e.g., gun-powder, spices, cotton or codfish) and diseases (epidemics), and the global circulation of capital.After a discussion about the overlapping concepts of world, transnational and global history, the guest speakers of this series lecture class will offer different approaches and topics, such as Revolutions in Global History (B. Molden); From New Labour History to Global Labour History (D. Mayer); The Marshall Plan in Austria – A Transatlantic Economic Project in a Global Perspective (H. Petschar); International Organizations in 20th Century Global History—the Example of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) (E. Röhrlich); Guest Workers Migration (Dirk Rupnow); Abolitionism in the Transatlantic Space: Organizations and Interactions of the Movement for the Abolition of Slavery in the late 18th and 19th Century(B. Bader-Zaar); Medieval Europe and Global History. Shifting Perceptions and New Initiatives (T. Ertl); World System Analyses (A. Komlosy); Life Stories and Global History (M. Grandner); Free/Unfree Labour and Global Capitalism: Theoretical Considerations (J. Harnoncourt); Transatlantic Migration Patterns in 20th Century Global History (A. Seidl).
