  • How do these area studies benefit from the global history paradigm and its key current debates?
  • How does in turn its classic problematic of modern empires and critiques of Eurocentrism benefit from Eurasian regional material and the emerging engagement with the questions of the anthropocene, histories of gender and economy, studies of science and technology, and religion and secularism?
