Global is commonly used nowadays as a synonym for international, but such usage is incorrect. This is because \"global\" implies \"one world\" as a single unit, while \"international\" recognizes that different peoples, cultures, languages, nations, borders, economies, and ecosystems exist. Nonetheless such usage is found in widely-used media buzzwords such as the \"Global Economy\".
In team sports, \"International\" commonly refers either to a match between two national teams, or to a player capped by his national team.
In politics, \"The International\" — such as, the \"First International\", the \"Second International\", or the \"Socialist International\" — may be short for any league of communist, radical, socialist, or union organizations from multiple countries. This is celebrated in The Internationale, a famous Socialist song.
