'''Globalism''' is, according to the Oxford American Dictionary, the advocacy of "the interpretation or planning of economic and foreign policy in relation to events and developments throughout the world."  In its most extreme forms it is sometimes expressed using terms such as "one world," support for a single world government, and/or terms such as "world citizen" or "global citizen."  Some globalist groups such as the [[World Federalist Movement]], and some non-Christian religions such as [[Bahai]], actively campaign for world government.  "Global" is a currently fashionable term in [[business]], where the term "international" would be more appropriate usage; the term "international" implies business operations between a few countries, while "global" implies worldwide business, making it an adequate term for some forms of business that do operate across the world.  Many aspects of globalism fall under the umbrella of [[globalization]], which refers to how local phenomena can become global phenomena.

The term "global" looks the world is a single cohesive unit while the term "international" better recognizes the world's different countries, different cultures, different languages, different ethnicities, and national borders.  Thus the two terms are not the same thing and using them interchangeably is often incorrect; however, it should be noted that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Globalism also involves the theory of a "global economy" in which the economic achievements of most if not all nations are interdependent with those of other nations around the world because of international trade. This is possible because of recent technological inventions such as the internet. For example, a farmer in [[Ghana]] can now be insured that he is payed the standard market price for a particular crop because of the standards set in Chicago which he can check with a telephone or internet connection.
