Difference Between Global and International

Global vs International

Countries are sovereign states that have definite geographical regions and have distinct cultures, languages, and people. They are politically organized and are distinct and separate from each other. They do interact with each other through trade and other activities either on an international level or a global level.

The word “global” is an adjective which means “concerning the entire earth and not just one or two regions.” It is synonymous to “worldwide” and “universal,” and it also means “unlimited, unbounded, general, and comprehensive.”
In recent years, world economic order has been transformed into one that has a global scope. This means an integration of the economies of the various countries of the world with the intention of increasing material wealth through competition and specialization.

When economies go global, there is free trade, migration, and technological, political, military, and socio-cultural interaction and sharing between nations. “Global” means “the integration of different nations as a single unit.”
When a company goes global, it means that they have branches and offices in many countries, and their products are distributed worldwide. They have investments in the different countries where their products are sold. It is not only experienced in economics and trade but also in environmental concerns and other relevant issues. Global issues are those that concern and affect the world as a whole and, as such, must be resolved not just by one nation but all nations of the world.

The word “international,” on the other hand, is an adjective which means “concerning two or more nations.” Although it is also used as an analog to the words “foreign” or “foreigner,” it is more commonly known as a term that refers to concerns that affect not one but two or more countries. It means the interaction between countries regardless of national boundaries. It affects only the countries that are involved. International trade is one that involves only two or more countries wherein companies import or export the other’s products. They don’t hold any investments in each other’s countries.

It is of a smaller scale than “global.” So a country might have an international issue with another, and it concerns only both of them. “International” is not only used in trade and commerce, but there are also international laws, languages, and issues.

Summary:

1.“Global” is a word that is used to refer to issues and concerns of the entire world while “international” is a term that is used to refer to issues and concerns of two or more countries.
2.“International” has a smaller scope encompassing only two or more countries while “global” has a much larger scope which includes the whole world.
3.Although they are sometimes used in lieu of each other, “global” means “all-encompassing and worldwide” while “international” means “foreign or multinational.”
4.Global companies have offices and branches as well as investments in other countries while international companies export their products and import the products of the country with which they have international trade relations but hold no investments in each other’s economies.

    Socialist have all ways used the term internationalism, workers problems are the same in every country.
    Capitalist only started to use the term Globalism to combat Socialist Internationalism, Before Globalism it was known has Empire and we all know what Empires are for, Globalism is for the same thing.

    Globalism about trade of goods being unfettered across borders, for the benefit of the few to increase their profitt at the cost of many in lost of taxation to a country, its also about forcing bad goods onto a country, example GMC removing the paperwork on GMC so people will eat this food with out knowing, or forcing oil pipe line though a country who have refuse it or putting condition down, like in Syria case they said no to an oil pipe line taking a short cut though their country, so the oil baron complained to their government and lobbied others to over throw that legal elected government, that sort of thing
