Globalization research has demonstrated the multi-dimensionality of globalization, i.e. how not just the economy, but also politics, science, law, sports, and religion globalize society in very unique ways. Despite this wide-ranging research program, the negligence of relations among liberation struggles as one such (political) dimension is striking. I set out to show how inter-struggle relations constitute a distinct driving force behind the globalization of society and, as such, an expression of the historical process of globalization. The aim of this dissertation is to narrate a history of world society in terms of inter-struggle relations for the long 1960s, a period stretching from the beginning of the 1950s until the mid-1970s. At a time of heightened global interconnections, the long 1960s offer a revealing window into subaltern-political processes of globalization. Selecting and adapting lines of thought from the world society theory of Niklas Luhmann, I put face-to-face interactions, organizations, communications and transport technologies, and processes of mass inclusion center stage to map out these relations and probe into their social and historical preconditions. The focus on liberation struggles is thus designed not only to foreground perspectives that have been obscured, occluded, and hidden in world history, but to highlight the power of the subaltern to globalize the world.
