Whoa!! Allow me to suggest that such an outcome is not at all "well

On both empirical and theoretical grounds I find such a characterization
dubious at best.

As I'll be using the terms, globalization is the process, globalism is the
philosophy, and both refer to a concious elite program of power usurpation.
Apologies if this seems like language usurpation. (:>)
