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.

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.

Ces régularités observées, puis validées par l'expérimentation invoquée, permettent de proposer des lois, même si ces dernières n'ont pas nécessairement un caractère universel et pérenne, comme parfois en science physique. Conformément à cette démarche et appliquant les principes de la méthode expérimentale de Claude Bernard, nous proposons deux des lois démogéographiques de la politique, la loi du nombre et la loi du différentiel. Par l'expérimentation invoquée, leur véracité peut être établie. La géographie de la population peut donc apporter des enseignements utiles à la science politique.

International audience ; S'efforçant de clarifier les rapports entre science politique et science juridique, l'étude montre : d'une part, que leurs objets sont indissociables, la science juridique étant tenue de prendre en compte la dimension politique des phénomènes juridiques, tandis que la science politique est tenue de prendre en compte la dimension juridique des phénomènes politiques ; d'autre part que les points de vue respectifs qu'elles adoptent sont complémentaires, ce qui conduit à plaider pour une authentique interdisciplinarité.

On the occasion of the publication of the book by Alain Degenne and Michel Forsé, the concept of a network is once again the subject of an investigation in social sciences. As is also shown by the recent numerous studies on this subject, this book is an indicator of the growing interest of sociology in this issue. In the light of the work that preceded it, we would like to address the issues raised by A. Degenne and Mr Forsé that could first and foremost raise the interest of politicians (.). ; À l'occasion de la parution de l'ouvrage d'Alain Degenne et de Michel Forsé, le concept de réseau fait, une nouvelle fois, l'objet d'une investigation en sciences sociales. Comme en témoignent également les nombreuses études consacrées à ce sujet publiées récemment, cet ouvrage est l'indicateur de l'intérêt croissant de la sociologie à l'égard de cette problématique. À la lumière des travaux qui l'ont précédé, on souhaite aborder les questions soulevées par A. Degenne et M. Forsé susceptibles d'éveiller en tout premier lieu l'intérêt des politistes (.).
