Balance of Terror or Harmonized Variables

Ever wandered of a world having one leader to govern the entire globe? Or perhaps ever
imagined the time where a certain country will have to compromise their own national interest?
If so, have you tried to figure it out and think of a solution when this happens? These questions
have something to do with the concepts of Globalism and Internationalism. When one talks
about globalism, he or she will usually allude to its economic components of how it is the spread
of a wide variety of ideas and behaviors, mostly economic ones, beyond the borders of particular
states into the world scene. Most frequently, the term Globalism is often use interchangeably
with the term Globalization as to what this entire course is all about. However, globalism
encompasses a wide range of cultural concerns. Because the concept's influence is so broad and
profound, a clear description is difficult to come by or to put it in simpler term, elusive.

Although these two concepts appear to be synonymous, there are conceptual distinctions
between both terms. To begin, Globalism has a far broader definition, scope, and consequence.
Internationalism, on the other hand, emphasizes national unity and collaboration while respecting
and acknowledging its inherent Sovereign Character. Globalism not only stresses the weakening
of states' sovereign expression, but it also illustrates the conflicts that result from this dilution.
However, this does not necessarily imply that globalism is a totally negative concept in and of
itself, because (to some extent) surrendering national sovereignty is an attempt to reduce
obstacles to international commerce. Furthermore, while countries desire collaboration for
international commerce and respect each other's independence in decision making, it is typically
the southern nations who are forced to surrender their national interests as well. Next is the term
Internationalism, this concept actually relates to a political idea that calls for increased political
or economic cooperation between nations. It is linked to various political movements and
ideologies, but it may also represent a doctrine, set of beliefs, or movement in and of itself.
Internationalism occurs when a few or many countries choose to collaborate for the benefit of all.
This has essentially worked since WWI, stood out in WWII, and has continued to function since
then. Globalism is proposed when one or two nations band together to take over the globe with
one leader (Hitler, potentially Trump, and possibly the Communists). This might be acceptable if
everyone agreed on the style of leadership and everyone believed the same things, but
colonialism didn't work for everyone, and globalism would be worse since the disparities
between all the nations of the world are too significant.

In different view, specifically in terms of business, where the students are more inclined,
these two terms hold a key concept in understanding how different business sectors actually
work. Just like in the case of internationalism, in business, Internationalism refers to doing
business in several political jurisdictions most specially in foreign trades like in the case of
collaborating and partnering in some big multinational corporations, but globalism refers to a
desire to unite civilization into one group for the entire world and the full annihilation of the
individual as person. Now, since these two term are already present and are being compared and
contrast, then it is now the right moment when their moderator served as an end to process all of
the transactions made by internationalism and globalism and produce and actual outputs that will
bring a prosperous result for business sectors and industries, none other than the Globalization.
Globalism, at its core, seeks to describe and explain nothing more than a world defined by
networks of interactions spanning multi-continental distances. Globalism, in a nutshell, refers to
the underlying core network, whereas globalization refers to the dynamic shortening of distance
on a large scale. Globalization refers to the processes through which a company spreads its
activities to the rest of the world. Internationalism is the action of developing products, services,
and internal processes to support growth into foreign markets. To put it simply, Globalization is
the final outcome, whereas internationalism is one of the duties used to get there. Globalization
is more concerned with nations and their economy, whereas internationalization is more
concerned with individuals, firms, and organizations expanding their enterprises. Globalism
refers to a variety of systems that extend beyond the just international. Political scientists, like as
Joseph Nye, use term to describe "attempts to grasp all of the contemporary world's
interconnections—and to emphasize patterns that underpin (and explain) them. Internationalism
is a political viewpoint that calls for more political and economic cooperation among
governments and nations.

“Danger of excessive internationalism is nuclear annihilation. Danger of globalism


is the eradication of local values and cultures. Greatness can only be realized in the
middle path.”
