JMO globalism is not a goal, never has been, just the result of technology and communication.  Economics adapts to the market place, as your range expands, so do resources and the ability to sell to larger populations.   The internet and Amazon are just the latest version of the post office and Sears catalog.       

I think globalism is some people goal.  One world government no more countries,   I've seen examples of such and some past actions have suggested as much.  Look how pissy the rest of Europe got when Britton wanted out,  or how hard some push for trade pacts that arent a win for the US.  

I agree with you post in some ways,   but not so much in others.

Oop's you and I have  different definitions.  I define globalism as
network of of connections that span multi country and continental
boundaries.  I have worked in multinational organizations and projects,
guess that's is how I have always understood it.  You view it as a
hegemony, I see it as a utilization issue, shared database connectivity
and collaboration to take advantage of disparate capabilities.   
Globalization may be more to the point, that is more the construct of
how you achieve globalism.   Not sure, are you thinking Alexander the
Great, Attila the Hun type world domination?
