Society is defined by Niklas Luhmann as the one and only social system that includes all communications which refer to each other (1997a pages 78-91). Society is the totality of all social systems. Luhmann is very critical of sociological theories that equate societies with populations of nation-states. (1997a, pages 24-32.)
