The concept of globalism

You must have heard about globalization, Is not it? But, what about globalism?

However, although they have similar spellings, the terms are not synonymous, that is, globalization and globalism are not the same thing.

Globalization is a term much studied in the academic field. A process of interconnection between people and countries, built on the basis of the expansion and internationalization of capitalism.

So, what is this expression, widely associated with the concept of “cultural Marxism”?

So, let's outline the difference between the two: While the globalization is an economic concept, O globalism is an extremely political concept.

The concept of globalism

Globalism is a term that can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used.

In the field of social Sciences, the word does justice to a social, historical and geopolitical conjuncture, in which multiple social segments act.

Still, according to sociologist Octávio Ianni, in The era of globalism, globalism is configured as a generalization in the particularities of a local, provincial or national scope, encompassing economic and social systems and their modifications.

Encompassing an overview of global and globalized society, globalism is heterogeneous, marked by the fragmentations and integrations of post-modernity, which develop collectivities and nationalities, as well as the relations of diversity and inequality of peoples and individuals.

Therefore, instead of excluding, globalism coexists with social manifestations and ideologies, such as tribalism, nationalism and imperialism.

The origin of the term

Globalism has been a widely used expression in Brazilian and American governments.

Previously applied by american president, donald trump, the nomenclature conquered the Brazilian territory with the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ernesto Araujo, and the advisor for international affairs of the government, Filipe Martins.

We will fight to reverse globalism and push it back to where it started.

(Ernesto Araújo, Minister of Foreign Affairs)

For Ernesto Araújo, globalism is the economic globalization that came to be piloted by cultural Marxism.

Filipe Martins, titled as an anti-globalist, designates globalism as an ideology whose belief is based on believe that the problems are better approached if analyzed in a global perspective, more precisely in the supremacies national. It would be for the advisor, an ideology or even a power project.

Filipe Martins is even one of the best-known students recently of the writer Olaf de Carvalho, an outspoken critic of globalism.

However, during the presidencies Jânio Quadros and João Goulart, the term globalism was already on the agenda. And, after them, globalism was the structure of the foreign policy of military governments.

However, the brazilian globalism of the 20th century is not the same as the one referred to by the Brazilian Foreign Minister.

In the academic field, its origin is justified by the book The Emergence of Globalism: Vision of World Order in Britain and the United States, 1939-1950.
