The international community is a phrase used in international relations to refer to all peoples, cultures and governments of the world or to a group of them. The term is used to imply the existence of common duties and obligations between them. Activists, politicians and commentators regularly advocate the term, in the context of calls for action to be taken against political repression and to preserve the respect for human rights. It is also urged as an approbative for evidence-based policy in governance, and frequently for moral syncretism, justice and peace.

Une communauté est une interaction d'organismes partageant un environnement commun. Dans les communautés humaines, l'intention, la croyance, les ressources, les besoins ou les risques sont des conditions communes affectant l'identité des participants et le degré de leur cohésion. Dans son usage actuel le plus courant, le mot communauté évoque des collectivités historiques ou culturelles, telles qu'entendues dans les débats sur les minorités

Communautés intentionnelles : Cette expression est davantage utilisée au Québec qu'en France ; elle semble proche de la signification d'une communauté sociologique quoi que d'acception un peu plus limité Un ensemble de personnes d'origines diverses ayant choisi consciemment de vivre ensemble en un lieu donné et sous une forme organisationnelle et architecturale définie constitue une communauté intentionnelle. L'expression se réfère à des formes d'habitation dites alternatives. En 2007, Christophe Cousin réalisa un voyage de près de deux ans à travers les communautés intentionnelles' qui ont notamment pour vocation la construction d'un monde meilleur. Sur la route des Utopies, Paris, Arthaud, 2007, 288 p. (ISBN 978-2700396737).

Sur la route des utopies avec Christophe Cousin : Après un tour du monde en vélo, Christophe Cousin a fait le tour des communautés utopiques du monde ... A l’heure où tout paraît s’effondrer, où les bourses jouent au yoyo, où les plans sociaux se multiplient, où le libéralisme est remis en cause, nous vous proposons un gros plan sur une utopie, Auroville, une ville créée au sud de l’Inde il y a 40 ans…
