For years, historians have been intensively discussing the genesis, forms and consequences of global interdependencies and exchange processes. The research and debates in the field of global history connect with established traditions of non-European history, the history of European expansion and the history of individual world regions, but lead conceptually and methodologically beyond these. The former "Gesellschaft für Überseegeschichte" took account of the change in academic discourse by renaming itself the "Gesellschaft für Globalgeschichte". In the course of the conceptual and methodological reorientation of the Society, the periodical "Globalgeschichte / Global History" was conceived, which is the successor to the "Jahrbuch für Europäische Überseegeschichte" (2001-2022).
"Globalgeschichte / Global History" offers a forum for academic essays, contributions to debates and literature reports in German and English that illuminate aspects of this diverse and dynamic field of research.
