This volume goes back to an international conference held at the end of November 2015 at Leipzig University on the occasion of 10th anniversary of the Erasmus Mundus Master‘s Course in Global Studies (EMGS) and therefore originates in the early 2000s when this programme was established. Almost 250 EMGS alumni, students, lectures, as well as programme organizers and further participants from all continents attended the conference, celebrating a decade of growth in the number of students, of disciplines involved, of professional fields occupied by alumni, and of new global challenges emerging from current affairs integrated into the curriculum. In short, the success story, which was worth a moment of reflection upon the causes of success and future tasks for further improvement of the programme. The aim of the conference was to discuss in a comparative manner how the specific version of Global Studies practiced in the EMGS programme has developed over the past years and how this relates to the development of the field in general. We therefore thought it would be greatly valuable to integrate the experiences of our alumni into this book.
