Paul James defines globalism, "at least in its more specific use, ... 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 before the driving force of capitalism sought to colonize every corner of the globe, for example, going back to the Roman Empire in the second century CE, and perhaps to the Greeks of the fifth-century BCE."[1]
Manfred Steger distinguishes between different globalisms such as justice globalism, jihad globalism, and market globalism.[2] Market globalism includes the ideology of neoliberalism. In some hands, the reduction of globalism to the single ideology of market globalism and neoliberalism has led to confusion. For example, in his 2005 book 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.

I noticed that many people define globalism a different way and it seems to hinder any conversation we have about it.

People don't want someone on the other side of the world that has never experienced their day to day reality dictating what is best for them, that's all.

Yea, not sure why people even try to be anti globalist. It's going to happen whether we like it or not, as soon as the internet set sail, there was no going back. All I can see from here on out is either cooperation or conflict, so far conflict seems to be not far off.

I've not been able to understand anti-globalism. We are a global, interconnected, planet. So many separated nations, different laws, beliefs, cultures...they are not sustainable.
A one-world government is inevitable.
A lot of people will die first though.
I'd like to see it happen. I'm tired of the squabbling.
