In a Kantian system, states no longer see each other as enemies or rivals, but friends and “the scope of shared norms is much more extensive” (Steans et.al., 2010: 195). Drawing from Immanuel Kant’s ideas, Wendt argues that this culture is the closest one to a collective security system where states identify with each other and define their interests collectively. In other words, in a Kantian culture states form a community.
