I could not do justice here to the manifold merits and nuances of
this fascinating volume, which has set the stage for a new field of
research on global publics both conceptually and methodologically.
It constitutes an instant classic for specialists and students in
political history, media history, and global history.

Global Publics is successful in stimulating conceptual discussion.
Overall, the contributions make a strong case for using the notion
of "global publics." Scholars working in the Habermasian tradition
might be interested above all in Huber's and Osterhammel's
introduction. Global historians may also want to turn to the
essays: they present global publics as fractured and fragile,
shaped by power structures and market forces, and only loosely
coupled with visions of a global community or world citizenship. In
particular, a focus on global publics seems to provide fresh
perspectives for studying transnational forms of political
mobilisation.
