Comparativ. Journal for Global History and Comparative Social Research focuses on themes of innovative world history and analyzes historical and current processes of globalization. Differences and similarities, as well as interaction, cooperation, and transfer processes, are discussed in their temporal change and in terms of their significance and function for the spatialization and de-spatialization of social, cultural, political, economic, and legal orders. Comparativ publishes contributions in German, English, and French. The journal serves as the communication forum of the European Network in Universal and Global History, and therefore discusses European perspectives on globalization and European developments in global contexts particularly intensively.
