journal of world history, spring 1996 Conceptualizing Global History. Edited by Bruce Mazlish and Ralph Buultjens. Boulder, Colo.: Westview Press, 1993. Pp. viii + 253. $63 (cloth); $14.85 (paper). This book deals with theoretical and practical aspects of globalization processes. Written by eleven different authors, the book consists of ten chapters grouped into two parts. After theoretical discussion in chapters 15, the next four chapters look at some specific large-scale developments. The last chapter seeks to provide an overview of the possibilities and limitations of "global history." In the introduction, Bruce Mazlish explains the program. Why is there a need for "global history," and what makes it different from world history? Global history is contemporary history. It deals with current earth-spanning processes. Global history includes the formation and development of global communities; ideas and concepts such as universal time; values with universal aims, such as human rights; planetary identities; and widely understood forms of communication, such as international language and music. In a theoretical sense, global history is rooted in a great number of intellectual developments, mostly of European origins, ranging from universal religions and universal science--including economic theories of both capitalist and Marxist nature--to universal political pretensions.
