    "Globalism" as in what?

    Globalized economy is the future, and will allow people to make deals directly, bypassing all the national limitations. If I in Switzerland want to sell an armchair, and someone from Japan wants to buy it, then in the globalized economy I would just ship the chair to him and receive the agreed payment electronically - with the government(s) not entering the equation anywhere. This is hardly a bad idea; this is the best way the economy can be designed.

    Globalized government, however, is trickier. I would say that it depends on the exact organization of the matter. A democratic peacekeeping body such as UN (only not in its current implementation), or maybe an alliance of thousands companies aimed at preventing violations from market players, could work very well. However, a full scale global government, with the parliament and the president, would be asking for a disaster. The power of such a government, and the potential for corruption, would kill democracy off very fast, and, unless individual nations rebel against the system (breaking down its very idea), the worldwide totalitarianism is inevitable.
