This new series will develop scholarship on the transnational connections of societies and peoples in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and provide a forum in which work on transnational history from different periods, subjects, and regions of the world can be brought together in fruitful connection. The series will also explore the theoretical and methodological links between transnational and other related approaches such as comparative history and world history. The focus will be on movement of peoples, ideas, goods, technologies and institutions across national boundaries. Transnational history does not obliterate the nation-state as a useful historical concept but contextualizes it. Nations do not exist in isolation. Transnational forces and phenomena impinge upon the nation as it is constructed, and national identities are often defined against other identities. For the purpose of the series we will therefore look at the period beginning 1850.

Transnational history is not so much a "field" as an approach. For this reason is it desirable that the methodologies of transnational history be exhibited in their variety. A discussion of theories and methodologies will therefore feature prominently in the series; comparisons will be made between different forms of transnational history and transnational history will be realized in concrete topics. Most of the volumes will be single-authored studies, but there will also be room for exceptional collections of scholarly essays. They will all explore transnational connections of societies and peoples as well as exploring theoretical and methodological links between transnational history and other related approaches such as global history, international history, and comparative history.

Titles in the series will be published simultaneously by Palgrave Macmillan's offices in New York and the UK and distributed throughout the world.
