Abstract
In recent decades, the world and global history have become very current topics in the community of historians, especially with the process of globalization and intensive international scientific cooperation. Serious reflections on the effects of the old Western-centric understanding of human history, reorganizations of university curricula and interest of the scientific research centres in related topics, as well as the launch of several prominent journals in the field of global and world history in the United States, the United Kingdom and the People's Republic of China, gave impetus to new disciplines. The aim of this paper is to present: a) an overview of the development of world and global history (starting with models in ancient Greek and Chinese historiography and on to the XXI century, and concluding with new aspirations in the community of global historians); b) the basic and most represented directions in the last few years (especially considering the presence of economic topics, on the one hand, and attempts to constitute global intellectual history, on the other); c) some open polemics about the role of empires in the world history (especially within the framework of American historiography) and the function of subaltern studies in shaping history, which will overcome the legacy of Eurocentrism.
