In social sciences, a law can be defined as a finding of certain regularities in the interrelationships between social facts. These regularities observed, and then validated by the experiment cited, make it possible to propose laws, even if they are not necessarily universal and permanent in nature, as in some cases in physical science. In line with this approach and applying the principles of Claude Bernard's experimental method, we propose two of the demography laws of politics, the number law and the differential law. By means of the experiment referred to, their veracity can be established. The geography of the population can therefore provide useful lessons for political science. ; International audience In social sciences, laws result from interrelationships between social facts that can be frequently observed. These laws are not universal as they can be in physical sciences. However, once observed and experimented, regular events can lead to the recognition of laws. This is what we propose to do, following the principles of Claude Bernard's experimental method, in order to deal with two demogeographic laws of politics : the law of number and the law of differential. Hence we will see how useful for political science population geography can be. ; In social sciences, a law can be defined as a finding of certain regularities in the interrelationships between social facts.

The paper looks into the integration debate among French sociologists and politists in the beginning of the 1990s, in the aftermath of the first "veil affair" at school. It shows that the authors, of various political and methodological tendencies (Schnapper, Noiriel, Taguieff, etc.) have taken a stand on French national identity. So doing, they have helped to make up the French national identity and to introduce in public opinion the "nationalist-republican" stance, which refers inconsiderately to the French statist tradition. ; L'article étudie la discussion sur l'intégration parmi les sociologues et politologues français du début des années 1990, au lendemain de la première " affaire de voile " à l'école. Il montre que les auteurs, de tendances politiques et méthodologiques diverses (Schnapper, Noiriel, Taguieff, etc.), ont pris position plus ou moins explicitement sur l'identité nationale française : leurs travaux sont des prises d'identité nationale. Ce faisant, ils ont contribué à la forger et à introduire dans l'opinion publique le " nationalisme républicain ", qui se réfère à la tradition étatique française d'une façon impensée
