Abstract
This concluding chapter considers the future of global and transnational history. It discusses what new subjects, themes, and approaches may further enrich the study of global and transnational history. Among them, the chapter mentions the growing importance of the study of different age groups and activity associations (professional, artistic, sporting, etc.), historical memory, and the coming together of individuals of diverse backgrounds so as to form hybrid communities and cultures. Lastly, the awareness of sharing the planet with all people and with all animals, plants, and other objects may lead to the idea of planetary history, a culminating point in the long journey away from nation-centric histories.
