This article has two principal aims. The first is to assess the usefulness of ‘glocalization’ as a concept in the study of early modern global cities, using human–animal interactions as a test case. The second is to explore the reciprocal influence that human–animal interactions and the development of global cities had on each other. Exploration of these two issues interrogates the frequently contradictory, often ambiguous and always contested nature of the early modern global city itself.

全球城市，全球动物群：动物和英国大西洋城市，1660-1800

本文有两个主要目的。首先是评估“全球本地化”作为一个概念在研究早期现代全球城市中的有用性，使用人与动物的互动作为测试案例。第二个是探索人与动物的互动和全球城市的发展相互影响。对这两个问题的探索质疑了早期现代全球城市本身经常相互矛盾、经常模棱两可和总是有争议的本质。
