In the lower 20th century,With the development of economic globalization,The world becomes more and more closely connected。So,Some scholars start from their respective disciplines,Try to make an academic response to this phenomenon,Thus various global problems research。In this background,Historians also try to understand globalization through the inspection of the historical changes in the past,The global history that emphasizes the interconnected worldwide in the world is born。The original global history writing emerged in the United States。First is William McNiel、Stavri Arnos and others advocate writing a western history and world history from the perspective of global or civilized interaction,Published "The rise of the West" (1963)、"History of Global" (1966) and other extensive works。Later,Alfred Crossby、Bruce Mazlish、Jerry Benteli and others develop this concept of global general history into a new method of historical research。Since the 21st century,Global history develops rapidly around the world。In China,The Capital Normal University established the first global history research center in 2004 with Professor Liu Xincheng,China's global history research is also developed with the discussion of "global history"。

How to understand global history? How to study global history?。So,"World History Navigation" in Patrick Manning appeared in the United States (2003)、Ke Jiaoyan's "What bet365 best casino games is Global History" (2008) and other introductory works introduced global history。But,"Global History" at this time is still a concept of "Ying Ry",Related discussions are mainly focused on "what should be global history",Therefore, it is limited for beginners of global history。Subsequent,There are several entry books that discuss global history theory and methods in the West。such as,"History of Global History and Transnational History" (2013)、Sebastian Conrad's "Introduction to Global History" (2013) and "What is Global History" (2016)。These works were discussed on the basis of the research results of global history in the West at that time.,Basic positioning of the concept of "global history" to a large extent,It plays a promotion role in the subjectization of global history and the popularity of the public。But,The above works do not take into account the needs of teaching,Lack of systematic design,Nor did it comprehensively sort out various practices of global history research,And these discussions with obvious Western perspectives,Add the differences in the habits of Chinese and Western language,Make them not entirely applicable to China's global history teaching。

Therefore,Developing Global History Research in China,Constructing a global historical knowledge system and disciplinary system that conforms to the national conditions of China,It also needs Chinese scholars' own efforts。It is gratifying that it is,"Introduction to Global History" by Liu Wenming, a professor at the Global History Research Center of the Capital Normal University (the 2021 edition of Peking University Press),Not only pay attention to bet365 Play online games overcome the shortcomings of the above Western writings,And the first comprehensive and systematically explained the theory and method of global history in the academic community in my country,It is undoubtedly significant for promoting domestic global history research and discipline construction。

For nearly ten years,Global History has achieved preliminary development in China,Some universities and research institutes represented by the Capital Normal University began the construction of global disciplines。China's global history research from the whole、Related、Interactive perspective,Examine the cross -country、Cross -cultural or cross -regional historical phenomena,Emphasize the limitations of breaking through the national history of the nation,Breaking the discipline boundary of world history and Chinese history,to make up for the shortcomings of foreign countries and the research of Chinese history。In this background,Provide an entry work with a comprehensive system that introduces global history and conforms to national conditions for domestic history and global history enthusiasts,It has become an important academic task in the development of global history in China。Liu Wenming has been engaged in the "Global History Theory and Methods" graduate course teaching for more than ten years,Cooperate with some domestic global historians to launch "Introduction to Global History",To a large extent, this demand has responded,provides a basic framework for global historical research, teaching and discipline construction for domestic global history, teaching and discipline construction。In summary,This book has the following characteristics。

Bet365 lotto review The first is systematic。Since the beginning of the global history,Due to the extensive participation of different countries and different scientific scholars,It has led to different understanding of global history in different academic backgrounds,Even the "what is global history" has also appeared。"Introduction to Global History" is not entangled with concept discussions,Instead, we can conduct a comprehensive investigation and sorting of the diverse practice of global history research,According to different attention themes and research paths,Divided global history research into several genres to introduce。such as,The book introduces cross -cultural interaction in world history、California School that pays attention to interactive comparison、Emphasizing the new global history and transnational history of contemporary globalization、Follow the empire and ocean as an empire as a network interactive area、Understand the changes in the ecological environment from the communication of species、Different Global History Theoretical Schools such as the Great History of the Background of the Natural History of the Universe,Provide readers with a spectrum system for global history research。

Followed by cutting -edge。Global History has developed rapidly in the last 30 years,Various exploration practices and research methods have undergone changes from appearance to molding,This makes the initial works of the West Global History theory, which appear lagging or even "outdated"。such as,Theoretical explanation of the history of new marine and global micro -history,Some works are almost not introduced。So,"Introduction to Global bet365 best casino games History" compared with similar Western works,Reflects the latest global history research dynamics。The book is for the history of multinational countries、History of the New Empire、New Marine History、Global micro history and other new fields and new trends,All theoretical summary based on the latest research results。

It's practical again。Global historians starting from early compilation of global general history,Western centralism in historical research,Gradually formed an overall view、Contact View、Interactive view to examine the "global perspective" and basic theory of history。but,These concepts are used in historical research,Due to research topics、time period、Area、Situation and other differences,It will show different research paths and methods,For example, cross -cultural interaction、Comparison、Network, etc.。"Introduction to Global History" about these theories and methods,Not a pure theoretical discussion and abstract summary,Instead, they are in specific research cases,Claim through the analysis of the research results of global history,Therefore, it has strong practicality,Make the history of cultural exchanges in global history research、History of immigration、History of the Environment、History of Empire、Scholars in different fields such as marine history can be enlightened from them。

Finally, it is explained from the perspective of China。Global History originated from the Western History Tide and History Practice,translated and introduced to China。So,Works of early theoretical and methods are basically from Western scholars,These works inevitably Bet365 lotto review have Western perspectives。With the development of global history in China,Discussion of Chinese scholars made related theories and methods,and proposed to build a global history theory with Chinese characteristics。"Introduction to Global History" is an important step in this direction。Global History in China as an emerging branch discipline under the first -level discipline of world history,Like the world history, you need to build China's own theory。So,Starting from the perspective of Chinese scholars conducts theoretical discussion and construction,It looks very important。"Introduction to Global History" as the first domestic system explains the theory of global history、Methods and Research Overview works,The significance of the construction of Chinese historical disciplines is self -evident。

In short,Professor Liu Wenming and his team on the basis of many years of global history research and teaching,From the perspective of China, a systematic summary of global history theory and methods,and put forward their own opinions on global history research。"Introduction to Global History" conducted a comprehensive analysis and explanation of academic genres formed by different research and practice of global history,Provide readers with a knowledge spectrum of global history research,The outline of this emerging historical field becomes clear,Become a masterpiece that promotes the construction of global historical disciplines in my country。
