  Expeditionary Anthropology

  Teamwork, Travel and the ''Science of Man''

  The Challenges of Globalization

  Economy and Politics in Germany, 1860-1914

  Torp, C.

Within a few decades global economic integration reached a level that equaled, and in some respects surpassed, that of the present day. This book describes the interpenetration of the German economy with an emerging global economy before the First World War, while also demonstrating the huge challenge posed by globalization to the society and politics of the German Empire.
