Analysis of Globalism

The reality is that such a global system is clearly evolving, whether the world of nations wants it to or not, so that the warnings and protests of the skeptics should be heeded, not to stop that inevitable evolution, for it will not be stopped, but so that the world powers can deal with the economic, sociocultural, political and environmental problems of globalism before it is too late.

Weinstein establishes a relatively recent historical context for an analysis of globalism, writing, with respect to the threat of nuclear war after World War II:

We must give hugh priority to efficient use of energy, water, and other materials, including expansion of conservation and recycling (Union 210). The globalist would argue that the benefits outweigh the problems. Although he does consider both sides, Weinstein seems a general supporter of globalism, championing global communications, for example, which seems to be a benefit few would question. However, even in such a case, globalism has its negative effects, such as when a dominant culture (the U.S.) imports its cultural values into an indigenous culture via such a communications system and overwhelms that culture to such a degree that it disappears or becomes Americanized. Stephen E. Ambrose, in Rise to Globalism: American Foreign Policy Since 1938, makes it clear that there are political dangers to globalism just as there are economic, environmental and cultural dangers. Ambrose notes that the foreign policy of the United States (the single most important force for globalism today) since before World War II and into the 1990s has been based on largely irrational factors, rather than on any coherent v
