Storia della globalizzazione. Dimensioni, processi, epoche

Boris Barth

Stefanie Gänger

San Francisco 1906: Ein verheerendes Erdbeben, ein geografisch auf Kalifornien begrenztes Ereignis, löste finanzielle Schockwellen aus, die sehr schnell auch Europa erreichten. Denn für die Schäden mussten Versicherungen in der ganzen Welt aufkommen. Anhand solcher Fallbeispiele verfolgt dieses Buch den methodisch und inhaltlich innovativen Ansatz, das Postulat einer globalen Geschichtsschreibung praktisch umzusetzen. So ergibt sich eine präzisere Sichtweise als bisher auf Prozesse der Globalisierung seit dem 18. Jahrhundert.

This volume highlights the contribution of the shipping industry to the transformations in business and society of the postwar era. Shipping was both an example and an engine of globalization and structural change. In turn, the industry experienced and pioneered, mirrored and enabled key developments that led to the present-day globalized economy. Contributions address issues such as the macro-level shift of shippings centre of gravity from Europe to Asia, the political and legal frameworks within which it developed, the strategies and performance of both successful and unsuccessful firms, and the links between the shipping industry and the wider economy and society. Without shipping and its ability to forge connections and networks of a global reach, the modern world would look very different. By bringing together scholars from various disciplinary and national backgrounds, this book advances our understanding of the linkages that bind economies and societies together.

Shipping and Globalization in the Post-War Era

'Globalization' has become a popular buzzword for explaining today's world. The expression achieved terminological stardom in the 1990s and was soon embraced by the general public and integrated into numerous languages. This text makes the case that globalization is not so new after all.
