"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." -- Betto van Waarden, Lund University, Connections

"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." -- Christoph Streb, Hypotheses
