On the Individualistic Theory of Social Order
In 1936, a very ambitious sociological work was published—Talcott Parsons's The Structure of Social Action—which aimed to reconstruct a sociological tradition. The notion of social roles, or positions, as patterns of interaction that last independently from the physical continuity of the incumbents induces and stabilizes the idea that to defect would deprive one of the future advantages of cooperation. The notion of social roles, or positions, as…

Debate
The Impossibilities of Democracy
At a time when the debate is about the form that our allegiance to democracy should take, liberal or communitarian, republican or constitutional, it may be useful to go back to basics, to ask why we cherish democracy as it is. Our reasons could differ. We need to start with Schumpeter. His innovation in contemporary Democratic Theory represented a breakthrough on two counts, both in theory construction, and in the nature of political explanation.…
Opposition in Italy
IN ROBERT DAHL'S ACCOUNT OF THE SUBJECT ‘OPPOSITION’ IS SEEN AS a political actor, opposing the government in parliament, having goals and strategies, being cohesive or not, well identifiable or not, aggressive or less aggressive in its action, and so on. As it is a ‘theory of action’, applying it would necessarily require (as Jean Blondel also shows in his essay) determining the ‘goals’ of the opposition. One would then be able to predict what a…
The Business Politicians
Political corruption has not disappeared with modernization, as some scholars believed would happen. On the contrary, corruption in Western democracies is often described as 'systemic', 'institutionalized' or 'diffuse'. At the same time, the political class is said to have undergone considerable change: catch-all parties and 'media power' have changed the structure of political careers and created new types of professional politician. Little thou…
Les difficultés du consociativisme
Les difficultés du consociativisme. Alessandro Pizzorno [90-112]. A partir des années soixante-dix, la vie politique italienne a été caractérisée par un dualisme fondamental entre la politique «manifeste» (oppositions idéologiques, conflits entre des projets de société) et la politique «cachée» (consociativisme, arrangements entre les partis de majorité et les partis d'opposition pour définir les décisions législatives et se partager les ressourc…

On the Rationality of Democratic Choice
That each individual acts according to his own interests, that he is the best judge of these interests, whether economic or political, and that democratic government, given representative mechanisms that allow citizens to choose among different political offerings, is automatically the most efficient one possible for satisfying people's interests — this is a series of assumptions that lies behind a lot of common-sense opinions that lead people to…
Le mouvement ouvrier.Alain Touraine , Michel Wieviorka , Francois Dubet
This article reviews "Le Mouvement Ouvrier," a collaborative work by Alain Touraine, Michel Wieviorka, and Francois Dubet. The book analyzes the evolution of the French labor movement, arguing that it has transitioned from a class-based movement focused on economic struggles to a more fragmented and diverse social movement concerned with broader cultural and political issues. The authors employ a sociological approach, drawing on empirical resear…

Political Exchange and Collective Identity in Industrial Conflict
The purpose of this article is to explore whether the various events which followed the sudden increase in wages of the years 1968–70 in the main industrial countries can be accounted for by one general theoretical framework. Do the very high wage claims, the intensity of conflicts, their new forms and the new types of claim put forward, the increase in the political involvement of the unions, the spread of unionisation and of social movements in…

Entre l'action de classe et le corporatisme. A propos de la représentation des travailleurs dans les pays capitalistes avancés
Cette étude constitue la deuxième partie d'une analyse des modes de représentation ouvrière dans les principaux pays capitalistes. Dans la première partie , l'auteur distinguait deux types essentiels de syndicalisme : l'un «associatif » qui assure la représentation de ses seuls adhérents ; l'autre «de classe » qui intervient au nom de l'ensemble de la classe ouvrière. La prédominance de l'un ou de l'autre était expliquée à partir de trois variabl…
Scambio Politico E Identità Collettiva Nel Conflitto Di Classe
IntroduzioneIn questo articolo cercherò di proporre un inquadramento teorico che sia in grado di collocare in una prospettiva piú generale gli eventi che seguirono all'improvviso e rapidissimo aumento dei salari a partire dagli anni 1968–70 in tutti i maggiori paesi industriali. è possibile dire che le altissime rivendicazioni salariali, l'intensità particolare dei conflitti, le nuove forme di questi, i nuovi contenuti, anche, delle rivendicazion…

A fines de siglo, la burguesa italiana se encontr frente a la amenaza, si no de una verdadera alianza entre los campesinos meridionales y los obreros del norte, por lo menos de insurrecciones simultneas de estas dos fuerzas.

Lecture actuelle de Durkheim
Si vous voulez mûrir votre pensée, attachez-vous à l'étude scrupuleuse d'un grand maître, démontez un système dans ses rouages les plus secrets. C'est ce que j'ai fait et mon éducateur fut Renouvier» (I). C'est le conseil que Durkheim avait donné un jour à un de ses él`ves et qu'il est un peu agaçant pour un sociologue de 1962 de retrouver chez le « père de la sociologie scientifique », chez le « premier sociologue qui ait fait de la véritable re…
