Spanish term or phrase: comunitarista
El horizonte de valores cívicos vividos en el marco de la laicidad, la democracia y el progreso, puede concebirse como una propuesta alternativa –y dinámicamente atrayente– a la huida o a la búsqueda de refugio “seguro” en cosmovisiones parciales de cariz comunitarista

The Problems of Communitarian Politics
Unity and Conflict
Print ISBN 0198295642, 1999
doi:10.1093/0198295642.001.0001

Abstract: Offers a detailed critical analysis of the ideal of 'community' in politics. Traces elements of the idea of community in a number of social, philosophical, and political contexts over the last century, exploring how these have been and continue to be articulated in recent political and public policy debates. 'Community' is invoked as a justification for reorganization of state institutions, as the source of care and support for individuals, and as an entity that is valuable in its own right and must therefore be sustained and defended. In community development, community action, community care and community politics, the tensions and contradictions within the concept are invariably felt. Community is both inclusive and exclusive, both organized and unstructured, both hierarchical and egalitarian. The book argues that analysis of the concept 'community' reveals the role of ideas and ideals in shaping political action, the barriers to the realization of community in practical contexts, and ultimately the untenability of the ideal itself.

Outlines the distinction between individualistic and communitarian views of testimony as a source of knowledge. According to the individualist, testimony is not a generative source of knowledge: testimony is merely a device for transmitting knowledge obtained from other sources of knowledge. According to the communitarian, testimony is a generative source of knowledge

I think there is a slight difference between "comunitario" (communitarian) and "comunitarista" (community-based).
