International audience ; What happens to the state elite of an authoritarian regime after its collapse? This article proposes an answer by examining the Tunisian case after the fall of Ben Ali's regime in 2011. Based on a corpus of in-depth interviews with sixty or so ex-politicians or civil servants, the article starts by describing the collapse of the regime in terms of the experience and perceptions of some of those who had served it. This is not presented as a series of institutional and political events linked up in a homogenous and unidirectional process, but rather as a variety of individual experiences, each unique. The fall of the regime thereby emerges as a concrete experience of political relegation, documented in precise detail by the accounts given of it. Analyzing this experience provides a way of testing several hypotheses regarding the post-revolutionary careers of former senior officials, stressing just how complex and diverse the paths are for reintegrating the political class.

Cet article analyse un processus de changement de régime avec les outils de la sociologie politique du droit. Il étudie les élections « semi-libres » de juin 1989 en Pologne. Est examiné le processus de codification pendant les négociations de la « Table ronde », dont est issue une règle électorale ad hoc et ambiguë. Les différents usages du droit par les principaux acteurs (parti communiste, Solidarité, candidats) sont reconstitués. En partie inattendus, ils ont contribué à transformer une élection conçue pour sauver le régime communiste en outil de son effondrement.

Résumé Fondé sur une étude des politiques anticorruption en Pologne postcommuniste, l'article propose d'analyser les effets de cette lutte, non sur les pratiques incriminées mais sur le champ politique. Pour cela, il en analyse d'abord la genèse et les formes principales et montre comment un ensemble éclaté de pratiques et discours disparates a laissé place à un domaine d'action unifié. Il étudie ensuite quelques usages politiques de la lutte anticorruption afin de comprendre comment celle-ci est progressivement devenue une ressource pour les acteurs politiques. Ces préalables permettent de comprendre comment cette ressource est simultanément devenue une contrainte dans la compétition politique, au point de transformer les règles du jeu politique, de redéfinir les contours de la légitimité politique et de donner lieu à une intensification de la codification des activités politiques.
