Por eso, hay quienes creen que el concepto más adecuado en castellano sería mundialización, derivado del vocablo francés mondialisation. A grandes rasgos, podría decirse que la globalización consiste en integración de las diversas sociedades internacionales en un único mercado capitalista mundial. Por eso, el fenómeno es defendido desde teorías económicas como el neoliberalismo y por entidades como el Fondo Monetario Internacional y el Banco Mundial. Los defensores de este fenómeno mundial exponen multitud de razones para estar a favor del mismo.

Los escritores norteamericanos Susan George y John Zerzan son igualmente figuras claves dentro de la mencionada postura opositora.

Se espera que los presidentes de Argentina, Cristina Kirchner; Brasil, Dilma Rousseff; Uruguay, José Mujica; y Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, envíen un mensaje político exhortando a Paraguay para regresar al bloque. A ellos, se sumará Evo Morales, mandatario de Bolivia, en proceso de adhesión al bloque y con la expectiva de que se haga un repudio a los episodios vividos la semana pasada en Europa. Paraguay se encuentra suspendido desde el año pasado, en represalia por la destitución de Fernando Lugo. Eso será en agosto, con la asunción de Horacio Cartes.
