      ABSTRACT

      This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book embraces a vision of world history that is interdisciplinary in scope, and highlights theoretical debates that prioritize economic systems and class experiences. It highlights theoretical debates that prioritize economic systems and class experiences, while reflecting on how these approaches have shaped and limited the development of world history as a field of scholarly inquiry. The book explores what Thomas Bender has evocatively termed the 'imaginative space for historical reflection' opened by the processes of globalization and transnationalism. We are interested in the conceptual possibilities of a world historical approach informed by globalization theory, global political economy, transnationalism, and internationalist frames. The book expresses that interdisciplinary approaches of world history must participate in critical assessment of the role of citation and what Bernard Cohn referred to as the conjuring of ghosts of our discipline's theoretical guides.
