The tutorial first aims at characterising the leading perspectives in this field in the light of approaches of comparative, transnational, transfer and entangled history. Furthermore, the theoretical knowledge will be deepened by examining the methodological and empirical features of recent syntheses on the global history of the early modern period and the nineteenth century.
