Global history

Article Abstract:

Globalization, which is the subject of study in global history, takes one beyond Eurocentrism, nationalism, and their parochial ways of thinking, into a world of both differences and differences being transcended in the name of a common humanity. The story of globalization's development is made up of unintended consequences and human agency, with the result being powerful currents that move in a global direction.
