Università Roma Tre

The course has a twofold objective: to provide a basic historical background on the complex processes of internationalization that, in the centuries of the modern age (c. 1450-1800), contributed to determine the first stable forms of geopolitical interconnection, economic interdependence and cross-cultural interaction between different parts of the world; to introduce students to the historiographical debate on globalization and global history, stimulating - through the comparison of different interpretations, proposals for periodization and methodologies - the adoption of a critical and conscious approach to history, its narratives and its problems.
