Globalisation as Internationalisation

When the term “globalisation” is used in the context of “internationalisation,” it alludes to a rise in international trade and interdependence.

According to this viewpoint, a more globalised world is one in which more information, concepts, products, capital, investments, and people move across boundaries between national-state-territorial entities.

Ideas of internationalisation as a result of globalisation are appealing inasmuch as they need the least amount of intellectual and political adaptation. The consoling message of globalisation as internationalisation is that the new can be completely comprehended in terms of the familiar.

However, the very affirmations of familiarity and historical recurrence provide convincing evidence against the notion of globalisation as internationalisation.

Why bother learning new vocabulary if globality is nothing more than internationality, possibly in greater quantities?
