'globalization' carries connotations as Louis states;<br>
<br>
whereas 'global' could imply...in all our global diversity, gee are we managing to muck up the climate.
<br>
<br>
For example. <br>

<div>Interesting thoughts, Louis. But remember that the ITU uses to call its conferences "world this and that" and they are usually the counterexample for diversity and such.</div>

<div>In American English (Webster) the word global carries a connotation of totality, homogeneity, along with unification, centralization and hegemony (e.g. internet). In other words
<b>global does not include subsidiarity and diversity</b>. No wonder it is used ad nauseum in PR blah..<br>
<br>
World(wide) is more appropriate, as there is no hint of homogeneity, only of geographical presence.<br>
