Globalities. A Journal of Global History is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of global history, with a particular focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The editorial decision to adopt the term global history reflects a deliberate epistemological and methodological orientation. While world history has often emphasized comparative surveys and broad overviews of different civilizations or geographical regions, global history foregrounds the interconnectedness, entanglements, and asymmetries that have shaped historical transformations across time and space. It is not merely a matter of widening the spatial scale of analysis, but rather of rethinking historical narratives through the lens of mobility, exchange, and transnational dynamics. Global history provides analytical tools to investigate circulations of people, ideas, goods, and practices, as well as the structures of power, resistance, and inequality that have informed them. It emphasizes the construction and contestation of the global itself, not as a given, but as a historically situated process. This perspective calls for interdisciplinary approaches and fosters dialogue across historiographical traditions, area studies, and thematic domains.
Globalities aims to contribute to this growing field by publishing original research that critically engages with the making and unmaking of global connections, and by promoting nuanced, empirically grounded, and theoretically informed scholarship.
We welcome contributions that explore global interactions in all their complexity: from economic and ecological systems to cultural transfers, migrations, knowledge production, and social movements. We are particularly interested in research that engages with transnational, comparative, and connected histories, as well as in critical reflections on the methods and theories of global history itself.
Globalities supports a plural and inclusive approach to global history. We encourage submissions from scholars working in diverse historiographical traditions and geographic contexts, and we are committed to decentering Eurocentric narratives by promoting global perspectives and epistemologies.
The journal is a platform for original research articles, theoretical essays, debates, and book reviews. It also hosts special issues and thematic forums that bring together voices from different disciplines and regions of the world.
Globalities is intended as a space of dialogue for historians and scholars who seek to rethink the global past in order to better understand the complexities of the present.
