Transnational histories

Transnational histories study how events, ideas, and people cross borders and influence multiple countries, emphasizing connections beyond traditional nation-focused narratives. Instead of viewing history through the lens of individual countries, it explores how global interactions shape societies, cultures, and economies over time. This approach highlights the interconnectedness of the world, showing that historical developments are often rooted in cross-border exchanges, migrations, and collaborations. By doing so, transnational histories provide a more comprehensive understanding of the complex, interconnected processes that have shaped our shared past.
