GLOBALITY is the end-state of Globalization.
A hypothetical condition in which the process of globalization is
complete or nearly so, barriers have fallen, and "a new global
reality" is emerging.
The term was used in 1998 by author and economist Daniel Yergin in a Newsweek article that
described the end-state of the globalization process, and in his book, Commanding Heights: The
Battle for the World Economy.
William Safire traces the etymology of “globality” in his book No Uncertain Terms and identifies
a range of citations as far back as 1942, when it was used as a synonym for “global.”
The term has been described by William J. Holstein in the New York Times as "a
new
buzzword [that] doesn’t work — it merely describes trends that have been
under way for at least two decades under a very similar name."
