The second of which I call Internationalisation. With the added impetus of a shrinking world. What I mean is that as little as 30 or 40 years ago we were national citizens by default. Now much of the West is an international citizen by default. TV, web, films, fashion, food, sport.... we are imbibing internationalism all the time without realising it.

The question perhaps is whose internationalism?

The answer is clear.

The US.
