I wouldn't call this an American tendency. Generally the word "international" is used for things which are expected or aspire to be truly international.

If anything the American tendency is to restrict interest to the US.

Can you name some examples? In Europe it's so easy and normal to organize a multi-national conference that it'd seem weird to start something that aspired to be international without inviting participation from multiple countries.
