Although the community might be a family, communitarianism usually is understood, in
the wider, philosophical sense, as a collection of interactions, among a community of
people in a given place (geographical location), or among a community who share an
interest or who share a history. Communitarianism usually opposes extreme
individualism and disagrees with extreme laissez-faire policies that neglect the stability
of the overall community.

Conditionality 14
Conditionality is typically employed by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank
or a donor country with respect to loans, debt relief and financial aid. Conditionalities
may involve relatively uncontroversial requirements to enhance aid effectiveness, such
as anti-corruption measures, but they may involve highly controversial ones, such as
austerity or the privatization of key public services, which may provoke strong political
opposition in the recipient country. These conditionalities are often grouped under the
label structural adjustment as they were prominent in the structural adjustment
programs following the debt crisis of the 1980s.
