Comparative
Comparativ is a journal for global history and comparative social research based in Leipzig. The first issue appeared in 1991 and has been published six times a year since then. This magazine goes back to the Institute for Cultural and Universal History, which was re-established by Manfred Kossok and his student Matthias Middell , in the History Department at the University of Leipzig, which, however, was dissolved again in 1993 after the death of its founder and director Kossok.
Comparativ is currently being edited by Matthias Middell and Hannes Siegrist . The editorial team includes Andreas Eckert , Michael Zeuske and Marc Frey .
The magazine Comparativ deals with topics from world history and analyzes historical and current globalization processes. Differences and similarities as well as interaction, cooperation and transfer processes are discussed in their temporal change and with regard to the meaning and function for the spatialization and de-spatialization of social, cultural, political, economic and legal orders. Comparativ publishes articles in German, English and French. The magazine is the communication forum of the European Network in Universal and Global History and therefore discusses the European perspective on globalization and European developments in global contexts particularly intensively. Comparativ is published on behalf of the Karl-Lamprecht-Gesellschaft eV / European Network in Universal and Global History.
