Abstract
Framing the history of globalization is also instrumental in specifying the singularities of world history and global history that, in effect, remain almost undistinguished. The relationship between the two can be understood sometimes as one of synonymity, for example, as Michael Adas states in his Essays on Global and Comparative History, part of a larger series by the American Historical Association also entitled Essays on Global and Comparative History, “a new global or world history” is emerging.1 Sometimes it appears as an attempt at nominal differentiation. For instance, in the United States it seems that the name global history aims to differentiate itself from world history and its association with the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum or introductory survey courses. In Germany, particularly in the former DDR, world history nomination is avoided due to its unwanted association with past official Marxist historiography. However, beyond nominal considerations, the singularity of world history and global history is not yet specified.
