Summary: | This volume discusses globalising processes from the perspective of the humanities and social sciences. It focuses on the a ~global southa (TM), notably the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Densely researched case studies examine a variety of approaches for their potential to understand connecting processes on different scales. The studies seek to overcome the main traps of the a ~globalisationa (TM) paradigm, such as its occidental bias, its notion of linear expansion, its simplifying dichotomy between a ~locala (TM) and a ~globala (TM), and an often-found lack of historical depth.
