What is Global Environmental History? 
Conversation with Piero Bevilacqua, Guillermo Castro, Ranjan Chakrabarti, Kobus du Pisani, John R. McNeill, Donald Worster 

The following telematic debate has provided historians from different historiographic traditions and distant countries with an opportunity to compare views on the diff erent interpretive paradigms. A wide range of subjects was covered: the definition of the discipline’s fi eld of research, themes, and chronological scope; the relationship between global and local; the role of the West in history and historiography; the perspective of the dominated; the discipline’s role in policy making; and its relationship with the natural sciences.
