Abstract
The shift in historiography: from studies of nationalism and critical theories of nationalism to theorizing empires and historical studies of diversity; approaches to historic empires (empires as actors of the global order, continental and colonial empires, imperial sovereignty and politics; modernizing empires and imperial transformations); a dialogue between post-colonial studies and new imperial history; key questions of new imperial histories: imperial sovereignty and citizenship; social history and agency in the context of diversity; political imaginaries of imperial and post-imperial order; production of knowledge and difference in the imperial context; global and entangled histories of imperial formations.
