“…It has a very long history. Globalizing processes have touched many people and influenced the development of individual societies, as well as the world as a whole (Bentley, 2004). It is certainly one of the major socio-economic processes of recent decades.…”

The main goal of this paper is to show the level of globalization, its changes and the rate of economic growth that have taken place in the new Member States of the European Union (EU), exactly the former socialist countries (EU-11). The aim is also to present the impact of globalization on economic growth in these countries. The following research methods were used: historical, literature, descriptive analysis and simple statistical methods. Statistical data used in this paper come from KOF (index of globalization and its three subindices), Eurostat and Human Development Reports (United Nations Development Programme). The time range of research is 1990-2018. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: 1.The level of globalization of this group of countries has increased significantly; 2. The largest increase took place in countries where the level of globalization at the starting point was the lowest, and the lowest in the most globalized countries; 3. As a result, the differences between individual countries have significantly diminished (we can see the convergence); 4. The current level of globalization of these countries is mainly the result of the combined action of both systemic transformations and the process of integration with the EU. 5. The rate of economic growth in these countries is rather high, much higher than in the old EU. As a result, GDP per capita increased significantly; 6. A small positive correlation exists between the degree of globalization and GDP per capita in these countries; 7. The positive impact of globalization on economic growth in the analysed group of countries was also noted.

“…At its worst, world history has served ideological functions by constructing visions of the global past in which Europe and its outposts figure as sites of dynamism and progress, while other regions become little more than sinks of stagnation and regresssion. (Bentley 2 006, p. 27)…”

Globalization began when all heavily populated land masses began interacting - both directly and indirectly via other land masses - in a sustained manner with deep consequences for all interacting regions. Globalization emerged during the sixteenth century. Dynamism emanating from within China played a pivotal role. Valid hypotheses concerning globalization's emergence must accommodate evidence from numerous disciplinary debates. Discussion of globalization's birth in terms of economic issues alone - for example, O'Rourke and Williamson's price convergence of the 1820s - is doomed. The central role of economic history - including Chinese economic history - becomes salient when arguments are formulated in the context of a multidisciplinary, global historical narrative.

“…Globalization struck me as being a theme that could encompass all branches of historical study while still avoiding, however narrowly, tautology and incoherence. It is worth noting, at this point, that there is a distinction to be drawn between global history, which was conceived as an attempt to bring order to world history by promoting comparative studies, and the history of globalization, which attempts to assess the value of the social science literature on this subject for understanding the past (Mazlish and Buultjens 1993;Hopkins 2001;Bentley 2004). Th e two are eminently compatible but they are not identical.…”

Th is article off ers one view of the evolving historiography that shapes, or might shape, specialist research on regions and periods covered by the conference. It argues that recent trends have given fresh impetus to an old subject, empires, and presented possibilities for studying a new one, globalization. It explores the reasons for the "material turn" and the "totalizing return" in historical studies, and illustrates the stages through which these developments have passed by citing examples from the author's own varied fortunes in exploring both subjects. Th e article concludes by suggesting how some of the main themes discussed at the conference might be connected to the new historiography.Cette contribution propose une vue d'ensemble sur l'historiographie qui s'est développée ces dernières années. Il se peut qu'elle infl uence la recherche spécialisée relative aux régions et aux périodes qui ont passées la revue pendant la conférence. L'étude en suggère que des tendances récentes ont données un nouvel élan à un vieux sujet de recherche-celui des empires-en soulevant des interrogations sur un nouveau sujet, la globalisation. Cette contribution explore la 'tournure matérielle' et le retour 'au panorama' qu'ont pris la recherche historique, fondés sur des exemples tirés des publications de l'auteur. Ces exemples exemplifi ent les étapes qu'a subies l'historiographie et en signalent les fortunes variées. Pour conclure l'auteur suggère comment les thèmes proéminents de la conférence peuvent être liés à l'historiographie moderne.
