A sentence from JapanesePod 101:

> 北米とヨーロッパでは通常スカートは女性がはくものと思われているが、世界的には多くの男性がスカートをはく。
>
> In North America and Europe a skirt is thought of as something a woman
> wears, but in many countries men wear skirts.

I don't see why it's 世界的には rather than 世界的では, especially when では is used in
the first clause. で seems to fit both clauses (location of action).

question
particle-に adverbs particle-で na-adjectives に-and-で
Usage of particles で and に with ~的
的 makes 世界 into a 形容動詞 ("na-adjective"), which, when functioning as adverb,
turns into ～的に. ～的では is simply ungrammatical.

answer
世界的には is being translated as "in many countries", but this is just the natural
English translation.

"世界的" means "global" or "worldwide", and functions as an adverb when に is
attached as Earthling explains. So "世界的には" here is kinda hard to translate
literally but means something closer to "globally" or "on a global scale".

> 世界的には Looking at the world as a whole  
>  多くの男性が many men  
>  スカートをはく。wear skirts.

Or in more natural English: "In many countries men wear skirts."
