The Korean version is scheduled to be published in 18 volumes.
This book, the thirteenth in a series, traces common patterns among diverse phenomena as Christianity and Islam expand in the modern world, global migration becomes more active, and encounters and exchanges between cultures expand.


Part 1: Migration and Encounters

Part 1, “Encountering Immigration,” examines the issue of immigration in earnest.
Modern times were a time when voluntary or forced migration was more active and widespread than ever before.
Its motive, scope, and aftermath were truly world-historical events, and a subject that changed the world.
War was the most powerful motivator of migration, and exchanges and conflicts among migrants were inevitable.
In the process of seeking a new international order, international law, which continues to this day, was born.

Part 2 Trade, Exchange, and Production

The Columbian Exchange, which emerged after the discovery of the so-called New World, brought about a groundbreaking change in the world system.
Its scope was also global, encompassing people, goods, diseases, and plants and animals.
The world's production and exchange system was completely transformed, and in its wake the plantation economy developed and the tragedy of the slave trade expanded.
The impact of global trade has also completely transformed the Asian world.
Global changes in trade have brought about global changes in production, and traditions from Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia have actively influenced these global changes.
