Globalne veze i usporedbe u praksi: sinteze moderne i suvremene povijesti C. A. Baylyja

Abstract

This paper sets forth from the hypothesis that the rise of comparative, transnational, global histories and entangled history is due to theoretical works, but also historical works in which the historians practiced the aforementioned approaches. The paper thus focuses on two books by C. A. Bayly, The Birth of the Modern World, 1780-1914: Global Connections and Comparisons and Remaking the Modern World 1900-2015: Global Connections and Comparisons. In his syntheses of global history, Bayly focused on connections, comparisons and entanglements. In this sense, Bayly’s books may be particularly beneficial to Croatian historiography. Besides engendering familiarity with recent syntheses of global history in the 19th and 20th centuries, the examples of Bayly’s works facilitate insight into the application of comparative, transnational and global history and entangled history in practice.
