Résumé The political system and social mobility Daniel Boy The analysis of the political consequences of social mobility gave rise as early as thé 19th century to a current of theoretical reflection which has had a considerable influence on early empirical research in this field, which began during the 1950s. Authors such as Lipset and Bendix consider that the currents of social mobility tend in the main to defuse the social and political demands of the working class, and thereby strengthen the existing political System. Analysis of the findings arrived at by these authors, supplemented by later research, shows that these initial conclusions may be seriously doubted. By constructing a plausible political reproduction model and varying the mobility flows, it is apparent that political equilibrium is affected less by the degres of mobiliiy within a society than by the movements that affect its overall social structure.
