English term or phrase: societies
Bonjour,

je traduis un document sur des projets d'aide au développement. Le document se composent de phrases un peu sorties de leur contexte et présentées de manière synthétique.
je ne parviens pas bien à saisir le sens de "societies", à qui/quoi il est concrètement fait référence dans :
Political leaders and societies of South-East Asian countries have established and improved cooperation mechanisms, based on democratic and peaceful priciples.

merci !

societies


Explanation:
"Societies" is used here in the sense of social groups/communities. Not associations or companies.

Le Grand Robert:

Société civile, politique. L'homme et la société. ➙ Homme (cit. 83 à 85); individualisme (cit. 5). Relatif à la société. ➙ Collectif, public, social. Rôle, travail de chacun dans la société : fonction* sociale. Place de la femme dans la société. Problème de société. ➙ Sociétal. — La société se venge, punit (cit. 7; → Punition, cit. 1).

associations (politiques)


Explanation:
À mon entendement, Political leaders and societies peut être réécrit comme ceci : Political leaders and political societies. Dans ce cas donc, je pense que political societies veut dire "associations politiques".

Donc, "Political leaders and societies" peut se traduire par "Dirigeants et associations politiques".
