Globalization by Jürgen Osterhammel
A Short History
A concise historical account that treats globalization as a plural, uneven and historically contingent set of processes rather than a single linear development: it traces how economic networks, migrations, colonialism, technologies, cultural exchanges and institutions created new forms of interconnectedness from the early modern period to the contemporary era, emphasizes asymmetries of power and region-specific trajectories, and surveys conceptual and methodological debates to show that global integration unfolded in waves, through multiple channels, and with varied consequences for different societies and social groups.
