| Research Abstract |
(1) We emphasized two key concepts, 'comparison' and 'relationship or linkages' in order to create a new type of Global History Studies. We held 20 seminars, 8 International Workshops and 1 International Conference from April 2005 to March 2007.
(2) In December 2007, we held a Summarized International Workshop, "Cross-regional Chains in Global History: Europe-Asia Interface through Commodity and Information Flows". By using bilateral comparison, we considered the commonalities and differences between Asia and Europe from the ‘Long Eighteenth century' to contemporary 'East Asian Miracle' for regional integrations and linkages. We revealed that in the ‘Long Eighteenth Century' Asia and Europe achieved almost equal and parallel economic developments and that 'relative autonomous position' in the Modern World-System enabled Asian world, especially East Asia, to achieve high level of economic growth (East Asian Miracle).
(3) We intentionally propagated our research results at International Conferences and Seminars as far as we could. In addition to our joint-research with the Global Economic History Network (GEHN), we made presentations at seminars of University of Texas, Austin, Harvard University, University of Hamburg, National Singapore of Singapore, Nankai University and Sun Yatsen University of China about global history and Asian world.
(4) We published Osaka University Global History Discussion Papers (vols. 1-8) and opened an original home-page, "Global History Online" (http://www/globalhistoryonline.com/).
