Résumé anglais Michel Crozeer et Jean-Claude Th?nig : The Regulation of Complex Organized Systems: The Case of Local Politico-Administrative Decision Making in France. This article presents a sociological approach which permits analyzing more or less stable complex systems which form around existing relationships between different but interdependent organizations. This study accents the means of regulation which govern these relationships. Through the observation of decision making processes, the suggested method appeals to the analysis of power relationships and of the rules of the game between actors belonging to these systems. For instance, a concrete case is presented which is drawn from a survey on the relationships between the major organizations which intervene in the management of public affairs at the local level in France : the State's public administrations ; local collectivities ; social, economic and political organizations ; etc. Such an approach in terms of the system lets us present, in new terms, the relationships between an organization's formal and informal aspects and open up a new perspective for studying change.
