The research group GECEM-679371 (Global encounters between China and Europe: Trade networks, consumption and Cultural exchanges in Macau and Marseille, 1680-1840) financed by the ERC (European Research Council)-Starting Grant under the EU Framework programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020) organised and hosted the GECEM Seminar Series: Global History and East Asian Studies. The aim of this seminar is to open a forum of discussion with the main specialists in global history and Asian studies. This seminar will promote a greater understanding of the theoretical, empirical and methodological framework applied to the comparative studies related to the western and eastern world. The ultimate aim is to review the great divergence debate through new case studies.
