Internationalism

Internationalism is an ideology which stresses the benefits of greater cooperation between nations. It advocates that humans should unite across national boundaries to advance a common cause or interest. Being a broad term, it is similar to Globalism and Cosmopolitanism, but is generally distinct in the way that internationalism is less extreme than the two (e.g. doesn't necessarily want a one-world government or to mix cultures, etc).

Internationalism can be advocated for many different reasons. Economic internationalism supports states cooperating with each other to improve economic relations with each other; an example of this is the European Union. Another form of internationalism includes diplomatic/foreign interventionism, popular with ideologies such as Neoconservatism. Historically, socialist movements have used internationalism to unite communists world-wide against class struggle.
