I find it funny that conspiracy theorists (or similar) haven't jumped at this yet:
(I'm not entirely sure but Baha'i's might have actually coined that term, which later emerged curing the Cold War era)
I've very rarely see it ever brought up.
The Baha'i "New World Order" and it's future legislative court, the "Universal House of Justice" (the group of old senile men staring at a wall), have an interesting kind of relation to both the Sunni Caliphate idea and the Catholic Papacy idea. Baha'i's have basically created a mishmash of both ideas, but leaning towards the Catholic idea in terms of religious authority but leaning towards the Sunni Caliphate in terms of how it will comprise unified territory across countries (aiming for the entire world, like both prior systems hoped to achieve but didn't).
In terms of Baha'i strategy they both play the Jewish/Christian card of 'pity us, we're persecuted' (which was a historical reality for Shia Muslims and Bayanis/Babis but we didn't make that historical reality the pillar of our faith) and try to nudge their way into the United Nations and European Union area of politics, as both provide good room for expansionism when things start to go to turmoil.
From Kitab Aqdas (also appearing as chapter 70 of Gleanings From the Writings of Baha'u'llah):
