The end of WWII ushered in the heyday of "internationalism", or "globalism", characterized by the formation of the UN on land in NYC donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr, certainly apropos to this article.
Clearly, the Rockefeller-style "world federalism" has won out over other modern -ism movements. Most world leaders in most sectors are aligned with this movement and it is pretty apparent that at the moment the trend is towards more globalism, not less. David Rockefeller himself self identified with this agenda in his memoirs:
"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
