The period spanning the last third of the nineteenth century and the first years of the 20th century until the outbreak of World War I witnessed an unprecedented intensification of global interconnections. This period was characterized by dramatic changes in politics (the rise of global colonial empires spanning all continents and the emergence of international organizations), in transportation and communication technologies (transoceanic and transcontinental telegraph lines and the adoption of steamboats), in markets for goods and capital (the emergence of international financial markets and cartels) and the steady increase in transatlantic and transpacific mass migrations.

These changes gave rise to a new awareness of global interconnectedness which made its way into the discourse of politicians, diplomats, entrepreneurs, journalists and academics. Understandings of global trade and production flows shaped investment policies, policy interventions, tariffs, political alliances and migration patterns through different channels. At this conference, we wish to explore ideas and practices of globalization and their interrelationship.
