Sinossi
La globalizzazione è il concetto più impiegato per caratterizzare l'epoca in cui viviamo; essa è, per così dire, la quintessenza della contemporaneità. Ma le sue radici affondano addirittura nel Medioevo, e i processi che hanno portato alla condizione odierna sono attivi da tempo, da ben prima che il concetto di globalizzazione venisse coniato, e sono l'espansione europea, il sorgere di un'economia mondiale, la connessione dei continenti attraverso le emigrazioni di massa, l'allargamennto planetario delle relazioni internazionali, e la formazione di una cultura cosmopolita.

No me gusto mucho el libro, esperaba otra cosa más. No obstante rescató del mismo su búsqueda por entender la globalización desde antes de la edad moderna. Hay muchas cosas que para algunos que conocen varias cosas de historia, lo hace repetitivo. El lenguaje con que está escrito no ayuda mucho en su l Leggi tutto
A decent overview of the history of globalization. The most important point made in the book is that globalization is not only a modern phenomenon. There are periods of increasing globalizationa and deglobalization, also in previous periods. The book makes the classical arguments for globalization i Leggi tutto
Interesting...all these globalization books are starting to blend together in my mind, but this was diverting at least because the periodization differs from most of the other books. More talk of the nation-state too. Like the diaspora book I just read, Osterhammel (and Petersson...how come he gets
The book is short, written before 2003, and covers the history of global connection for History of over 1000 years. so with this presumption, the book is trying to draw a broader image. That being said, we have to ask if the book gives a short of globalization. The answer is yes. The book does a goo Leggi tutto
Don’t care
Very repetitive. Some chapters were informational.
Pretty good if you have to read it
