Opening of a new dossier: Global, Regional, Local.

“Each place is, in its own way, the world”; “all places are virtually global.” But also, each place, undeniably immersed in communion with the world, becomes exponentially different from the others [1]".

The dossier aims to discuss the relationships between the Global, Regional, and Local, from a historical, geographical, and other related perspectives. It is based on the understanding that there are fields of historiographical knowledge defined as Global History, Regional History, and Local History, as objects of study, approaches, and the development of analytical categories, and that the concepts of Global, Regional, and Local are not essentialized categories, but rather historical ones. In this sense, articles and reviews that discuss the issues presented will be accepted. The connections, ruptures, and comparisons between spatialities; the articulations between the global and the local; the relationships between regions and cultural dynamics, economic processes, diasporic processes, conflicts, and migrations. The regional as a component that differentiates it: it works with locality, in this case the area defined as a region as a system, as a social totality, existing in space, which is linked to another broader spatiality. Writing regional history, therefore, is not understanding the regional as the opposite of the global, nor is it thinking of the region as the next scale after the local. In addition, articles that discuss the local issue as the center of analysis, with its own uniqueness, culture, and politics examined in the foreground, thus defined as the production of Local History, are welcome.

Articles and reviews must be submitted by November 15, 2025.
