"This contribution reminds us of the fact that the
analysis of processes of transnationalization and
transfer across borders are not only important for
European history but that these processes can also
be observed for and between regions in Africa, in
the Middle East and in Asia. The article points out
that reciprocal relations and interactions between
these regions are by no means recent phenomena,
even if they increased and underwent signifi cant
transformations in the modern period as a result
of historical changes. The article presents preliminary
results of an ongoing research programme
at the Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO) in Berlin /
Germany on south-south relationships in past and
present. The concept of 'translocality' focuses on
the relationship between spatial fl ows and social
or cultural change in non-European regions. This
relationship is seen as a fi eld of tension, involving
entanglements at a variety of scales, from small to
global. Thus the article aims at opening up the discussion
on global history to a variety of regional
and local levels of analysis in order to strengthen
non-European perspectives. The focus is on the dialectics
of transfer and demarcation as a crucial
access to the understanding of globalization." (author's abstract)
