"Globalization" has become a popular buzzword for explaining today's world. The word achieved stardom in the 1990s and was soon embraced by the general public and integrated into numerous languages. But is this much-discussed phenomenon really an invention of modern times? In this work, Jurgen Osterhammel and Niels Petersson make the case that globalization is not so new, after all. Arguing that the world did not turn "global" overnight, the book traces the emergence of globalization over the past seven or eight centuries. In the end, the authors write, today's globalization is part of a long-running transformation and not a new "global age" that is radically different from anything that came before. Jurgen Osterhammel is professor of modern and contemporary history at the University of Konstanz. Niels P. Petersson is senior lecturer in history at Sheffield Hallam University
