Fighting Globalism and Supranational Governance
Over the past several decades, the United States has gradually relinquished significant portions of its sovereignty to an emerging globalist order. From multinational trade agreements to international institutions that increasingly exert influence over domestic policies, the push for supranational governance has undermined the independence and self-determination of the American people. At the Center for Realpolitik and American Values (CRAV), we believe that this trend must be confronted head-on. Sovereignty is not just a political principle—it is the foundation of a free and prosperous nation.
What Is Globalism?
Globalism is not simply about international cooperation, trade, or diplomacy. These are essential components of a peaceful and interconnected world. However, globalism, as an ideology, seeks to erode the distinction between nations, prioritizing the interests of an unelected global elite over the will of the people. Supranational governance, whether through organizations like the United Nations, the European Union, or even transnational corporations, often bypasses the democratic processes of individual nations, imposing decisions on populations with little to no accountability.
This is not cooperation—it is coercion. When treaties, accords, or international organizations have the power to dictate domestic policy, they strip citizens of their ability to chart their own course. Worse yet, globalism often serves the interests of large, unaccountable entities—corporations, technocrats, and foreign powers—rather than the ordinary people who bear the consequences of these decisions.
The Threat to American Sovereignty
The United States, as the world’s dominant power, has been both a leader and a victim of globalist ambitions. From the outsourcing of manufacturing to the regulatory overreach of global institutions, American sovereignty has been steadily eroded in the name of progress. Multinational trade agreements frequently sacrifice the well-being of American workers to benefit foreign markets and multinational corporations. While free trade has its merits, it must be structured to prioritize American interests and protect industries critical to our national security and economic stability.
Climate accords such as the Paris Agreement impose burdensome regulations on American industries while allowing major polluters like China and India to operate with minimal oversight. These agreements bind the United States to rules that stifle economic growth while failing to hold others accountable. Similarly, institutions like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) increasingly influence American policies, often in ways that conflict with the values and priorities of the American people.
These globalist policies result in a loss of agency for the United States. Decisions that should be made by American citizens and their representatives are instead dictated by unelected bureaucrats in distant capitals, undermining our democracy and sovereignty.
Why Sovereignty Matters
Sovereignty is not an abstract concept—it is the mechanism by which a nation exercises control over its own destiny. Without sovereignty, there can be no democracy, no accountability, and no meaningful self-determination. It ensures that the American people remain the ultimate authority in shaping the future of their country.
Sovereignty is also about responsibility. A sovereign nation takes ownership of its successes and failures, rather than deferring blame or credit to external forces. It places the needs and aspirations of its citizens above the demands of foreign powers or international institutions. For the United States, this means preserving the constitutional principles that have guided our nation for over two centuries and rejecting external pressures to conform to global norms that conflict with our values.
Fighting Globalism: A Path Forward
To counter the dangers of globalism and supranational governance, the United States must reassert control over its own policies and priorities. Renegotiating or withdrawing from international agreements that undermine sovereignty is essential. This includes trade deals that disadvantage American workers and climate accords that impose unequal burdens on our economy. Reforming international organizations to ensure they operate transparently and accountably to member states is another critical step. Where reform is not possible, reducing participation or funding should be on the table.
Domestic resilience is a crucial element in this fight. By reinvesting in American industries, securing critical supply chains, and fostering innovation at home, the United States can become less vulnerable to the pressures of globalist policies. A strong and self-sufficient nation is better equipped to protect its sovereignty.
Foreign policy must also reflect realism and mutual respect. International cooperation should enhance strength and security rather than entangle the U.S. in arrangements that weaken its sovereignty. Diplomatic engagement must be rooted in pragmatism, balancing American interests with the realities of the global stage.
Conclusion: The Battle for America’s Future
The fight against globalism and supranational governance is not just a political struggle—it is a moral imperative. It is about defending the right of the American people to govern themselves, free from external interference. It is about ensuring that America remains a nation of opportunity and independence, not a subordinate actor in a globalist play.
At CRAV, we believe sovereignty is the cornerstone of a free and prosperous America. Reclaiming our sovereignty will restore the strength, unity, and purpose that have defined our nation throughout its history. Rejecting the false promises of globalism and affirming our commitment to a sovereign and self-reliant United States is essential for preserving our legacy and safeguarding our future. The stakes could not be higher, and the time to act is now.
