World politics and a global economy only became possible with the creation of global communication electric. This book examines the emergence of this global media system between 1860 and 1930 in four sections - "Inter|Nationalisms," "Agents|Actors," "Use|News," and "Space|Time" - that aim to broaden and challenge popular conceptions of telegraphy.
