Abstract
There does exist a characteristic method for analyzing world history. As widely as studies in world history may vary in the topics and disciplines of their research, they retain a certain commonality in their underlying approach, which distinguishes them in method and not only in scope from studies at localized and specialized levels. After exploring many of the specifics in global analysis in chapters 15 through 17, I offer in this chapter a summary statement on analyzing world history. Logic, data, and carefully selected language, used in different ways, provide the materials for the six steps I have identified in preparing a global historical interpretation.
