Global history seems to be the history for our times. Huge syntheses such as the seven-volume Cambridge World History or the six-volume A History of the World suggest the field has come to fruition. Robert Moore, in his contribution to the book under review, The Prospect of Global History, is quite confident in this respect: if there is a single reason for “the rise of world history”, it is “the collapse of every alternative paradigm” (pp. 84–85). As early as 2012, the journal Itinerario published an interview with David Armitage with the title “Are We All Global Historians Now?” That may have been provocative but Armitage obliged by claiming “the hegemony of national historiography is over”.

全球历史的前景：一位老信徒的个人反思

全球历史似乎就是我们这个时代的历史。巨大的合成器，如七卷剑桥世界历史或六卷世界史表明该领域已经取得成果。罗伯特摩尔，在他对正在审查的书的贡献中，全球历史的前景, 在这方面相当有信心：如果“世界历史的兴起”只有一个原因，那就是“所有替代范式的崩溃”（第 84-85 页）。早在 2012 年，该杂志行程发表了一篇对大卫·阿米蒂奇的采访，标题为“我们现在都是全球历史学家吗？” 这可能具有挑衅性，但阿米蒂奇不得不声称“国家史学的霸权已经结束”。
