Abstract

Regions and the World

The decades-long primacy of national history has been increasingly challenged, by regional history on the one hand and global history on the other hand. Despite their common positon contrary to national history, the relationship between regional and global history can nevertheless be characterized as one of working alongside each other, rather than with one another. However, if historical scholarship is to show due sensibility for spatial aspects of the past, then regional and global history must try to develop their concepts of space together.

This journal issue presents some case studies in this direction. The articles explore the potential for connecting global and regional historical questions and approaches, as well as demonstrating the variety of research fields in which these might be applied in practice. In doing so, the chronological and geographical focus lies in regions of Habsburg-ruled Central Europe and Italy between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries.
