The author stresses delicate but important differences of meaning between "global history" in English and its Japanized form "gurobaru hisutori." After explaining the specific path of Japanese historiography on world history from the end of the nineteenth century to the present, he points out important features of contemporary Japanese view on world history and discusses its merits and demerits. Finally, he underlines the potential of various contributions by Japanese historians who have a particular background and joined the discussion on global history in the world through a different path.

The paper is oriented towards a reflection on the epistemological extension of world history. This discipline is currently opening up for new subjects and new foci of interest, with environmental history being one of them. The paper debates the interaction between the global and the local as one of the main issues of world history. It analyses the impacts of the interconnectivity of diverse regions as well as different geographical and cultural complexes, during the period between 1500 and 1800. Assuming that the sea in its economic, cultural and environmental dimensions contributed actively to world history, and is, in itself, a major factor of globalization, the paper intends to highlight interdependencies which fostered connections between the local and the global. It further submits to discussion which was the impact of an on-going globalization process, based on maritime dynamics, on the environment. Through an analysis centered on the impact of European overseas expansion, some environmental impacts will be analyzed. The paper aims at questioning environmental history as an emergent theme of world history, based on the historical experience of connecting worlds developed in the First Global Age (1500-1800).

It appears our global society and economy are here to stay, despite current events. Mass communications including The Internet, increased world travel, and more and more consumers developing the ability to afford consumer goods, are all helping to bring world cultures closer together. Indeed, the world is rapidly changing and the fashion consumer, is especially affected. Despite the increased commonalities of peoples of the world, culture is a concept crucial to the understanding of consumer behavior. Marketers must understand the values, ethics, and customs of societies around the world to be successful in the global marketplace.

The situation of the global food markets has been being rapidly restructured and entering on a new phase by new dynamic and driving forces. The factors such as economic growth and income increase, high energy price, globalization, urbanization, and global climate change are transforming patterns of food consumption, production, and markets. The prices and markets of world food and energy are getting increasingly linked each other. Food and fuel are the global dilemma issues associated with the risk of diverting farmland or of consuming cereals for biofuel production in detriment of the cereals supply to the global food markets. An estimated 100 million tons of grain per year are being redirected from food to fuel. Therefore, the objectives of this study are as follows: Firstly, the study examines situations of the world food and energy resources, analyzes the trends of prices of the crude oil and biofuel, and formulates the food-energy links mechanism. Secondly, the study builds a simulation model, based on system dynamics approach, for not only analyzing the global cereals market and energy market but also forecasting the global production, consumption, and stock of those markets by 2030 in the future. The model of this study consists of four sectors, i.e., world population dynamics sector, global food market dynamics sector, global energy market dynamics sector, scenario sector of world economic growth and oil price.

It has been about twenty years since world history in a new sense was introduced to Korean academia. At first, it was the educators who showed a lot of interest in world history. But, before long, world/global history came to exert an important influence on history research and teaching in Korea. Even though certain unfavorable conditions still exist, the need for world/global history is growing and a number of academic institutes and scholars are putting in a great deal of effort to advance it in Korea. Here, we examine the changing meanings of world history on the basis of the history of concepts and provide a general idea of its introduction and diffusion in historiography and history education in Korea.

World history today has been greatly influenced by the fact that it was the revolution in naval power during the past two centuries that made the world truly global. This has led to a new master narrative that re-framed five millennia of recorded history in order to explain the ultimate triumph of the maritime economies. The result of such revision is to underestimate and distort the role of continental Eurasia in the shaping of the three key civilizations that developed independently and remain distinct: the Mediterranean, the Indic and the Sinic. Only by a fuller reappraisal of the linkages of trade and war dominated by the Eurasian central forces for most of history can we understand the global pressures perennially at work. By setting the continental and the maritime in their total historical context and recognizing their importance today, we can better explain what is happening and what is likely to continue to influence the course of world history.

지리 교과서는 종종 세계를 하나의 연결된 체제로서보다는 개별 국가들의 집합으로 다룬다. 또한 많은 학자들이 지리 교과서의 자민족 중심적인 편견을 경고한다. 그리하여 특정 집단이나 국가의 범위를 벗어나 세계의 상호의존성을 강조하는 세계적 관점을 추구하는 세계 시민 교육은 이러한 지리 교과서의 현 상태를 극복할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다. 이 연구의 목적은 첫째, 세계 시민교육의 관점에서 현행 미국 세계 지리 교과서를 분석하는 것이며, 둘째, 세계 지리 교과서를 비판적으로 읽기 위한 대안을 탐구하는 것이다. 본 질적 사례 연구는 미국 세계 지리 교과서의 제국주의적이고 미국 중심적인 관점을 드러낸다. 특히 한국의 사례는 이분법, 북한에 대한 부정적인 태도와 배제, 오해와 고정관념, 단순화 등을 통해 세계 지리 교과서가 어떻게 세계 다른 지역과 사람들을 과소 평가하는지 보여준다. 그리하여 세계 시민 교육의 '세계적 관점'과 '탈식민주의적 관점'을 통해 교과서에 재현된 다른 지역과 사람들에 대해 끊임없이 질문을 던짐으로써 의식적인 또는 무의식적인 오류와 편견을 감지하고, 나아가 지금까지 소홀하게 여겨졌던 사람들의 관점과 경험을 받아들이고, 복잡하고 논쟁적인 세계적 이슈를 다양한 관점에서 다루는 것이 필요하다.

이 연구는 글로벌 교육이란 무엇이며 이러한 글로벌 교육과 지리교육이 어떤 관계를 지니는지를 탐색한 것이다. 먼저 최근 '월드(world)'를 대신하여 사용되고 있는 '글로벌(global)'이라는 용어가 교육 및 지리교육에서 지니는 의미를 밝히고, 글로벌 교육이 무엇을 지향하고 있는지를 살펴보았다. 이어 일찍이 글로벌 교육에 관심을 기울여 온 영국과 미국을 사례로 하여 글로벌 교육의 기원과 흐름을 추적하고, 이들 국가에서 전개되어 온 글로벌 교육의 특징을 검토하였다. 마지막으로 글로벌 교육과 지리교육의 관계 탐색으로, 여기에서는 글로벌 차원이 지리교육에서 왜 필요하고 중요한지를 살펴보고, 지리 교과가 범교육과정 주제인 글로벌 교육에 어떤 기여를 할 수 있는지를 논의하였다.
