| Inhalt | The goal of this module is to take you to the frontiers of scholarship on the global and comparative history of capitalism, and to do so without assuming European history as the departure point, or without taking quantitative analysis as the standard method for comparison. Accordingly, as one possible point of comparison, we shall focus on the role of government and its relationship with a variety of ‘stakeholders’ in the unfolding of economic development. We shall explore their complex entanglements first in Japan, moving westwards, to look into China, Mughal India, Ottoman Turkey and so on. This non-European take on global comparison is the second defining feature of this module. |
| Lernziele | We will not assume prior knowledge of the history of regions such as Japan, China, India, Turkey, Africa and Europe, but we expect that you read widely, and absorb information and approaches effectively. The job of the module organizer is to guide you through reading and discussion so that you can acquire following skills. By the end of this module students taking this module should: - Have the basic understanding of each region (or country) and how its economic past has been studied, most often using the European experience as the point of comparison. - Build the confidence and skills needed to read a number of articles concurrently, and survey topics and fields that are relatively new to them. - Acquire hands-on experience of comparative history, and have basic understanding of challenges of doing a ‘global history’ - Gain experience and build the confidence to discuss complex subjects in English (that may as well be a second or third language |
