The Post-Cold War world order fueled discussions in the field of Humanities on theoretical and methodological resources in the very attempt to understand and explain the increasingly multi-polarized and complex international system. While considering the field of History — especially in its attempt to theoretically and methodologically cross borders — and while being active in the field of International Relations, we see possibilities of fruitful encounters between both areas of research, particularly when it comes to recent discussions on what came to be called in the 1990s “global history”. The article initially presents a conceptual definition of global history; then moves on to underpin its claim that History and IR areentangled disciplines that, despite different theoretical points of departure, not only share similar basic assumptions (state-centrism and the Western intellectual framework of thought) but also have been sharing similar intellectual preoccupations. In the third part, we explore possibilities of writing global history from the Latin-American perspective by discussing three recent contributions to the field. Finally, the text briefly enunciates possibilities of mutual enlightenment between the disciplinary fields of History and IR based on the idea of Global IR.
A História Global é uma abordagem que nasce da necessidade de compreender o mundo em franco processo de globalização marcadamente na virada do século XX para o XXI e apresenta uma proposta que visa combater dois principais problemas centrais recorrentes na historiografia moderna: o estadocentrismo e o eurocentrismo. Fenômenos transfronteiriços como os grandes fluxos migratórios e internacionalização da produção industrial, dentre outros, exigem um exercício de pensar os processos históricos para além da figura do estado nacional weberiano bem como compreender o cenário internacional contemporâneo onde a predominância europeia na economia, política ou cultura, é altamente questionada. Este trabalho propõe uma aproximação da História Global à disciplina das Relações Internacionais para a análise de um dos fenômenos globais mais relevantes do século XXI: a cooperação Sul-Sul. Para tal, a tipologia dos 4Cs (Contextualizar, Conceitualizar, Comparar e Conectar) elaborada por Diego Olstein (2015) é aqui proposta como um a caminho possível para pensar a cooperação Sul-Sul a partir da História Global.
