INTERNATIONALISM AND GLOBALISM
DEFINING INTERSTATE
• A system of unequally powerful and competing states in
which no single state is capable of imposing control on all
others
PREFIX "-INTER"
• It is a common prefix that means between or among
groups.
DEFINING STATE
• The state is a distinctive political community
with its own set of rules and practices and that
is more or less separate from other
communities.
• Example:
• Greece is one example that explains how neoliberal
economics can threaten the sovereignty of a state.
Global Social Movements
• Are movements of people that are spontaneous or that
emerge through enormous grassroots organization. These
social movements are transnational movements which
means they occur across countries and across borders.
• Example:
• The UN also has what is known as the Security Council.This group of Countries
decides what to do when two or more countries are waging war or are on the
verge of fighting. There are five permanent members of the UN Security
Council-the United States, Britain, Russia, China, and France. In addition to
the five members, 10 additional countries join the permanent members for two-
year terms, making a total of 15 countries.
• The "big five" permanent members have a veto power, which means that one
member can stop the entire council from taking action against a country.
• The main deliberative body, the General
Assembly, provides a forum for member states to
express their views and reach a consensus.
• NATO was created after the Second World War, mostly during the
beginning of the Cold War. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in
the early 1990s, former Soviet states, like Poland and Croatia, had
joined NATO, making the present-day Russia feel more threatened.
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
• Another example of an international organization that was
developed out of war is the Red Cross (Red Crescent in Muslim
countries). It is considered as a non-governmental organization
(NGO). NGOS are not tied to any country. This allows them to
operate freely throughout the world.
• Thus it is evident that in the world order that we witness today, conflicts,
cooperation and interdependence among various nations go hand in hand and
so do Internationalism and Globalism.
GLOBALISM
• Globalism is a political ideology that puts interests of the
world above those of individual nations. This brings
commitments to freer trade in goods, services and factors
of production- capital and labor. Globalism can be further
explained in terms of economic, military, environmental
and socio-cultural globalism, towards an interconnected
and interdependent world.
Four distinct dimensions of Globalism:
economic;
military;
environmental;
and, social
