David Easton on Community - Dictionary of Arguments

Brocker I 496
Community/Political System/Easton: The political community consists of the members of the political system. It is regarded as a group of people linked by a political division of labour (1). Members can have very different cultures, traditions or even nationalities. It is crucial that they have a minimal willingness to cooperate in solving political problems (2). This cooperation can take place in very different institutional structures (for example democracy or autocracy). The regime may change (see Political System/Easton), but the community may be preserved.
