Abstract: The dichotomy of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, as coined originally by Ferdinand Tönnies, has profoundly shaped the use of the concept of "community" in the social sciences (Tönnies 2002 [1897]). As shown by Renate Mayntz in this volume, the term "community," when used alone and not qualified, still tends to suggest close-knit if not primary groups with rich emotional ties. It also conjures up geography and bounded space, local connectedness and physical proximity. [First paragraph]
