internationalists
Cross-border cooperation supporters
Internationalists are people who advocate for cooperation among nations over national self-interest.
The term applies to those favoring international institutions, global governance, or cross-border solidarity—whether in politics, economics, or social movements.
Internationalists argued for strengthening the United Nations.
The word sometimes carries critical overtones from nationalists who view internationalism as betraying domestic interests.
