1. Internationalism versus globalism

Varoufakis says that "we must juxtapose internationalism against globalism." The interview doesn't elaborate on this distinction.

In a world of sovereign nation-states -- which is what we'll have for the foreseeable future, with even the EU being only a limited exception -- I don't see how any form of globalism can succeed except through internationalism. Does anyone have an idea as to what Varoufakis means by this remark?
