      abstract = {The long century between 1750 and 1880 was a  transformative period in global history. During this time,  a world of connected, but essentially still separated large  regions, gave way to a globally integrated world. Ever  since, different parts of the world were linked not through  trade and war alone. Cultural developments, political  reform and social change were increasingly entangled across  continents and cultures. Emerging Modernity, the fourth  volume of the 6-volume series A History of the World,  charts this transformative period. How did the modern world  economy emerge? Why did industrialization begin in England  and not in China, and were there origins of capitalist  development outside of the West? What were the roles of  slaves and of nomads in this integrating world? Was there a  bourgeoisie outside of Euro-America? To what extent did the  large empires keep the rise of nation-states in check? Was  the emergence of the "Muslim world" an effect of  globalization? Such issues are at the center of the four  large, thematically organized chapters of the present  volume.--},
