The study of global history has been inspired by the contemporary interest in globalization. it reconstructs global change in natural and human history. as a field of historical studies, global history reflects nature and human made histories in globalization. The purpose of this paper is to examine the meaning of global history actually deployed by working historians. Global history will come in two parts. The first is that it focus on the history of globalization. The second is that it is about to study on a global rather than local, national, or regional level. The overall aim is to foster a new scholarly perspective, a new historical consciousness, and a new subfield of history that will have major impact on the recent world experiencing globalization. This work contributes to new ways of thinking a more encompassing global history beyond the globalization rethoric with place for the natural, and the human. The goal is to think a macro historical and long- term social development in new ways of global entanglements as well as diversity, under dynamic interactions between the naturemade and humanmade history. Also this discourse is to open up a global and humanocentric view on the world with a long historical perspective which goes beyond world histories as just a Western compilation and accumulation of data into a global aggregate.
