Akira Irie: The Modern World as Seen by a Historian

One feature of recent history research is that it's the trend that is moving away from the framework of the nation. In 19th-century Europe and the United States, where history was originally a part of it, national institutions were considered fundamental to human society, and so the quest for past history has been often used as a subject for studying the rise and development of the nation. The modern world that historians see is a book written by a professor of history at Harvard University in the United States, writing about how author tried to understand the movements of the modern world. At this point when the mainstream of current history studies is flowing into world history, human history, the historical view of power games between nations explains that it has no meaning and emphasizes the importance of global history. So what are we living in? How is it that modern times differ from modern times? In this book, the author looks beyond the framework of national and cultural relations, treating history as a global movement and presenting the wisdom to liberate itself from its own-centric history.
