International Society, International Community, Cooperation, Integration, Natural Sociability

Abstract

Faced with the division and polarisation of international society at this moment in human history, with several armed conflicts causing immense suffering, we wonder whether an international society, or even a true international community, in which the bonds of integration are stronger, is possible. Or whether, on the contrary, imperialism or the currently flourishing nationalisms will reassert themselves. We have seen how most authors agree on the existence of a natural sociability of human beings, which is the basis of the need for cooperation between individuals, peoples and states. On this basis, we have analysed the emergence and development of international society up to the present day and the elements that would allow us to speak of a world community of states, or at least of sub-global communities.
