I have been so pissed off to see the abuse of "international society/community" when brain dead following trend journalists use them again and again when they wrote stories like Iran nuclear dispute and terrorism.... I guest those working for mainstream media are all the product of Anglo-American education, or the west centric political outlook, to them the international society are simply the US and Britain. When they say international society is worried about Yemen's anarchic situation and radicalism, they of course refer to the UK and US, who would thought Chinese give a fxxk on those issues. So is the Iran nuclear program, maybe in this case, the international communities refer to the US, UK, + Israel.
In theory, it is a more international anarchy, no international society to speak of. In practice, "the world" and "international society" only refer to Anglo-American alliance or the west. Maybe it refers to English speaking world, excluding those former British colonies in Africa and India, or the US and EU at most. By population, the US plus EU population is 113.4 million, while the world population is over 6,797 million. Hence the "international community" favoured by the brainless and spin doctors are only 16% of the world community.
The term "international society" is no more legitimate or representative than "the Chinese people" frequently revoked by Chinese authority to justify their legitimacy.
