security community definition
security community. . This concept means that, among a number of countries that feature similar substantive attributes in a given region, the possibility of waging war against each other becomes entirely unthinkable (Gemeinschaft). The theory suggests that an increasing pattern of communication and interchange between neighbouring societies will give rise to a growing sense of community, regional awareness and supranational identification. The departing point is the homogeneity among mass societies that share common values, such as capitalism and liberal democracy.40 Hence, elites and organised groups are considered of minor importance for this process.
