Hi there,

Where did you get the information about the translation?

On his website, the author lists the book separately (not as translations, as he does for other books): https://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/...

I've combined them.

Reading the blurbs tells you its the translation.

I did some more research meanwhile and found this article:

https://toynbeeprize.org/posts/sebast...

where it says: "Conrad came upon the idea of translating Globalgeschichte for an American audience, and proposed the idea to Princeton University Press. Most of the reviewers of the idea approved, but one or two voices pushed Conrad not just to translate the text into English but also to re-work the book as a more in-depth engagement with problems in the field. [...] Still, he accepted the challenge, trying to write a text, in his words, that was less of a schematic overview of the field and more of a "problem-based approach" to issues that had become clearer in the mere one or two years since he sent off the German manuscript." and more ...

I admit, I did not read the full text in all detail but what I read seems to indicate that it is NOT a translation ...
