What happened to history, the humanities and the social sciences in the two decades from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the outbreak of the world economic crisis in 2008? How have these changes imprinted the ways of thinking history as well as the concerns and the orientations of historians? What has been the impact on their research agendas? What were the main landmarks of historical research and theoretical reflection in the past 20 years? What was the impact of globalisation in reshaping the past beyond national historical agendas? The last issue of Historein addresses these questions and maps the orientations in history during the last 20 years.
