Die Globalisierung ist ein aktuelles Phänomen, das unser aller Leben beeinflusst und somit auch vor unseren Schultoren nicht Halt macht. Ausgehend von eigenen Unterrichtserfahrungen und Beobachtungen aus der Praxis ist die Autorin davon überzeugt, dass ein zeitgemäßer Geschichtsunterricht die Globalisierung und ihre Folgen nicht ignorieren sollte, sondern mit Hilfe des Konzeptes der Globalgeschichte aufgreifen kann. Weitere Problemfelder, die im Buch außerdem angesprochen werden, sind z. B. der Vergleich in Geschichtswissenschaft und Geschichtsdidaktik unter Berücksichtigung der besonderen Schwierigkeit des Vergleichs von historisch bedeutenden Persönlichkeiten; die psychologische, historische wie didaktische Bedeutung von Vorbildern im Geschichtsunterricht oder auch die aktuelle geschichtsdidaktische Debatte um die Kompetenzen.
