N2  - The relations of some international agents can be described as a community due to their shared we-feeling, identity or ethos. This article discusses 'thick' and 'thin' international communities and suggests additional criteria that ought to be considered when determining whether a particular actor or agent is or is not a member of the international community. Moreover, this article suggests a dynamic conception of the international community as a context-dependent configuration rather than as some relatively stable subgroup of the international society
