Die New Urban History entwickelte sich, obwohl die Bedeutung der Stadt für die amerikanische Geschichte schon früh erkannt wurde, in den letzten Jahrzehnten eher langsam. Der Verfasser geht auf die wichtigsten Arbeiten ein, die sich als maßgeblich für die aufkommende Spezialisierung erwiesen haben. Diese Arbeiten kündigten das Entstehen von bedeutenden Forschungsarbeiten an, die an drei Leitlinien orientiert waren: der Entwicklung neuer theoretischer Ansätze zur städtischen Entwicklung, der Erforschung des allgemeinen Stellenwerts der Städte in der amerikanischen Geschichte und der Untersuchung der Städte von innen her. 1969 wurde der Begriff New Urban History zum ersten Mal verwendet, um die Arbeit einer Gruppe von Historikern zu beschreiben, die ein Jahr vorher an der Universität von Yale zusammengekommen waren, um ihre Forschungen über die Stadt zu diskutieren. Nach dem Treffen von Yale entwickelte sich dieses Gebiet rasch weiter. Der Verfasser zeigt die Richtung dieser Entwicklung auf. Mit einer Erweiterung im Bereich der Quellen ging die Anwendung ausgefeilterer quantitativer Techniken einher. Es werden die Bezeichnung New Urban History zur Beschreibung der gegenwärtigen Forschung und die Merkmale, die bei Historikern und Nicht-Historikern über die Zugehörigkeit zu diesem Bereich entscheiden, erläutert. Ein Überblick über die allgemeinen Ergebnisse der New Urban History bezieht sich auf Bevölkerungsstrukturen, soziale Mobilität, ökologische Studien des städtischen Raums, städtisches Wachstum und ökonomische Entwicklung, städtische Sozialstruktur sowie städtisches Gemeindebewußtsein.

This essay calls for historians to move beyond chronological time in the writing and understanding of history. It first shows that chronology and modern history are historical, not natural, and then offers some simple correctives, such as recognizing different timescales and writing histories using the dating system of that place or object. It then suggests that we invert the relation between stasis and mobility so that we do not unwittingly use anachronistic categories and considers how historians, by forgoing chronology, can be more precise and complex about questions of change. Finally, it invokes provocations from Norbert Elias and Michel Serres that call for new frameworks for thinking about history and pasts.

The current international processes and events, world politics at the beginning of the 21 century have once again clearly demonstrated that their meaning often emerges through the historical context without which the understanding of what is happening is hardly possible. Rector of MGIMO A.V. Torkunov in his talk on International relations as an educational discipline remarked that "as for sciences the basis of professionalism is mathematical skills and competencies, for international relations such a basis is history". Historical disciplines are taught at MGIMO from the very start of education process. MGIMO is one of the leading centers of research in the fields of history, political sciences and humanities. Here, in different years academics E.V. Tarle, L.N. Ivanov, V.G. Trukhanovskiy, A.L. Narochnitskiy and other prominent scholars and historians taught. Historical School of MGIMO has united important areas of historical science: the history of political processes in the twentieth century, modern history, the history of international relations and diplomacy, historical regional studies and cultural studies, oriental, philosophy and theory of history. The best traditions of the MGIMO historical school incorporated by its founders, make the foundation of its development at present. In 1992, the Department of MGIMO world and national history was established. The principle innovation was the combination of two components - historical education and historical science. This made it possible to present the story of Russia as an important part of the world history, opened up prospects for the implementation of comparative history, the synthesis of specific historical approaches and generalized global vision of civilization and human development. The historical school has realised a number of research projects, including "Alexander Nevsky" and the multi-volume "Great Victory", the work continues on a research project "Russia in the Modern World", and on a project "Synchronous History", etc.
