Summary
Globalism is a concept in political science that seeks to understand and explain the intricate interconnections of the modern world by highlighting underlying patterns. It serves to differentiate the ideological aspects of globalization from its practical processes, akin to the relationship between nationalism and nationality. While the term emerged in the 1940s, it gained significant traction in the 21st century, notably popularized by figures like Alex Jones, often being used interchangeably with terms such as the New World Order and the deep state. Within far-right movements and among conspiracy theorists, 'globalism' is frequently employed as a pejorative, and its use has been linked to antisemitism, sometimes being misapplied to refer to Jewish people. The concept also frames broader economic discussions, as seen in debates around tariffs, trade deficits, re-industrialization, supply chain resiliency, and state capacity, reflecting diverse approaches to managing global economic interactions.

Globalism has multiple meanings. In political science, it is used to describe "attempts to understand all of the interconnections of the modern world—and to highlight patterns that underlie (and explain) them".

The concept of globalism is also classically used to focus on ideologies of globalization (the subjective meanings) instead of its processes (the objective practices); in this sense, "globalism" is to globalization what "nationalism" is to nationalization. Globalism as a concept dates from the 1940s. In the 21st century, the term "the globalists" was popularized by Alex Jones, and used interchangeably with the concepts of a New World Order and the deep state. The term is now frequently used as a pejorative by far-right movements and conspiracy theorists. It is sometimes associated with antisemitism, as antisemites frequently appropriate the term "Globalist" to refer to Jews.
