"center for global policy" sounds like some globalist lobby.

"The Center for Global Policy (CGP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. CGP is the first independent, non-partisan American think tank working exclusively on issues at the intersection of U.S. foreign policy and the geopolitics of Muslim-majority countries. We aim to enhance U.S. security and global stability by empowering our foreign policy decisionmakers with pragmatic recommendations grounded in informed and nuanced analysis.

Amid a dramatic increase in anti-Muslim sentiment throughout the United States and Europe and a simultaneous increase in anti-American sentiment in many Muslim countries, CGP addresses the underlying root causes and conflict drivers that perpetuate tension.

CGP’s nuanced and informed analyses aim to serve our country’s best interests in mitigating, transforming and providing solutions to many global conflicts."

Has “globalist” as a term been relegated to a pejorative?
I’m not sure if you’re aware but globalist is an anti Semite dog whistle for “the Jews trying to control the world” and has been for decades.

That reasoning is absurd. Obama talked about being "on the right side of history." Does that make him a Stalinist, just because Stalinists used that phrase 75 years earlier? I don't think so.

"Globalism" is a legitimate term used by proponents, critics, and neutral parties. It is not a dog whistle.

Who funds these guys? The principals appear to be mostly from southwest Asia: https://cgpolicy.org/experts/our-people/
