Globalization and Autonomy
Welcome to the Globalization and Autonomy Online Compendium, a collective publication by
the team of leading Canadian and international scholars who are part of the SSHRCC Major
Collaborative Research Initiative on Globalization and Autonomy. Using the Compendium, the
team is making the results of their research available to a wide public audience. Team
members have prepared a glossary of hundreds of short articles on relevant persons, places,
organizations, events and key concepts and compiled an extensive searchable bibliographical
database. They have written short summaries of their research that will be published in
academic form in the 10-volume UBC Press "Globalization and Autonomy Series: Dialectical
Relationships Shaping the Contemporary World." Finally, the Compendium contains position
papers and peer-reviewed research articles on globalization and autonomy issues.

Featured UBC Press Volume
Empires and Autonomy: Moments in the History of Globalization
This volume synthesizes the recent outpouring of works on globalization and world history. Its essays depart from the existing literature by depicting forms of autonomy - individual, local, cultural, state, imperial - that were effaced, challenged, reconfigured, or even brought into being by emerging transcultural systems and empires.
