Globalism

Globalism included to various patterns of meaning beyond a merely international. it is used by political scientists, such(a) as Joseph Nye, to describe "attempts to understand any the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie & explain them." While primarily associated with world-systems, it can be used to describe other global trends. The concept of globalism is also classically used to distinguish the ideologies of globalization the subjective meanings from the processes of globalization the objective practices. In this sense, globalism is to globalization what nationalism is to nationality.

The term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements in addition to conspiracy theorists. False ownership in this way has also been associated with anti-semitism, as anti-semites frequently appropriate the word globalist for Jews.

Definition

Paul James defines globalism "at least in its more specific ownership [...] as the dominant ideology and subjectivity associated with different historically-dominant formations of global extension. The definition thus implies that there were pre-modern or traditional forms of globalism and globalization long ago the driving force of capitalism sought to colonize every corner of the globe, for example, going back to the Roman Empire in thecentury AD, and perhaps to the Greeks of the fifth-century BC."

The Collapse of Globalism and the Reinvention of the World, Canadian philosopher John Ralston Saul treated globalism as coterminous with neoliberalism and neoliberal globalization. He argued that, far from being an inevitable force, globalization is already breaking up into contradictory pieces and that citizens are reasserting their national interests in both positive and destructive ways.

Alternatively, US political scientist Joseph Nye, co-founder of the international relations theory of neoliberalism, generalized the term to argue that globalism transmitted to any version and report of a world which is characterized by networks of connections that span multi-continental distances; while globalization refers to the add or decline in the degree of globalism. This use of the term originated in, and maintains to be used, in academic debates approximately the economic, social, and cultural developments that is described as globalization. The term is used in a specific and narrow way to describe a position in the debate approximately the historical credit of globalization i.e., if globalization is unprecedented or not.

Historically in the international relations of the 1970s and 1980s, globalism and regionalism had been defined somewhat differently due to the Cold War. Analysts discussed a globalism vs. regionalism dichotomy, in which globalists believed that international events more often arose from great power competition then U.S.-Soviet rivalry, whereas regionalists believed they more often arose from local factors.

It has been used to describe international endeavours begun after World War II, such(a) as the United Nations, the Warsaw Pact, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, and sometimes the later neoliberal and neoconservative policies of "nation building" and military interventionism between the end of the Cold War in 1991 and the beginning of the War on Terror in 2001.
