The Prospect of Global History takes a new approach to the study of global history, seeking to apply it, rather than advocate it. The volume seeks perspectives on history from East Asian and Islamic sources as well as European ones, and insists on depth in historical analysis. The Prospect of Global History will speak to those interested in medieval and ancient history as well as modern history. Chapters range from historical sociology to economic history, from medieval to modern times, from European expansion to constitutional history, and from the United States across South Asia to China.

Chris Wickham is Chichele Professor of Medieval History (Emeritus) at the University of Oxford. He has written numerous books on Medieval Italy and, more widely, on Europe and the Mediterranean, up to 1250. He is a social historian, and also a comparative historian, committed to large-scale comparative work, as shown in his Framing the Early Middle Ages (2005). He has extended this comparative work widely, including to medieval China and the Islamic world.
"[A] concise, thought-provoking volume....The editors and contributors are to be congratulated with this diverse, yet methodologically uniformly rigorous, high-quality collection of articles successfully addressing various aspects pertinent to the study of globalization, comparative history, and histoire connectée. It is mandatory reading for anyone involved and/or interested in the global history project."--Markus Vink, Journal of Modern History
