Another Augustinian effect?

Another possible change that could come with a more Augustinian pope would be in international law. Pope John Paul II was a consistent universalist (or a consistent centralist, if you want to put a negative spin on it). While of course upholding the Catholic principle of subsidiarity, to my knowledge Pope John Paul always opposed localistic isolationism: He favored a united Italy, a united Europe (which he thought his own Poland should join), and a stronger United Nations. But with "big" more and more seeming to mean "bad", I wonder whether our new pope might not seek to find new ways to defend particularism (somehow without abandoning the rest of the world).
