Regional Security Community in International Society: An English School Perspective

One of thoroughly-welcomed concepts in the literature of international relations and regional studies is the regional security community, refering to a group composed of sovereign states in a wide geographic area, in which war among them is eliminated. Thus, different regions can be considered in one of two situations of either formation or lack of it, meaning that in some regions such as Western Europe and North America, a regional security community has been formed, while in some other regions such as South Asia and West Asia and North Africa, it has not been formed, and there is no clear prospect of its formation in the future - at least in the short term. Theoretical question seems to be asked: "Why does a regional security community form in some regions and does not it emerge in some other regions?" collecting data in the library method and searching the Internet for relevant basic texts in the literature of regional studies and international relations, and using qualitative content analysis, this article provides an appropriare explanatory mode. In doing so, finding is that the functioning of the institutions of the global international society affects the regional level in such a way that it causes a regional security community to form in some areas and not in some areas.
