Résumé anglais Trade-Unions, Social Movements, and the Dynamic of Emancipation : the
Challenge of the New Radicalism. The article analyses the relations between trade-unions, associations and partisan movements in France today. These relations would appear to be characterised by a degree of mistrust which the crisis affecting political projects of emancipation has accentuated. The growing autonomy of the French labour movement in relation to the existing political movements represents a major shift. Trade-unions now cling to their independence, regarding it as an essential element of their legitimacy. The principle according to which there is no prior hierarchy governing the relation between the agenda of social issues and the agenda of the political is the precondition for any form of cooperation. If trade-unionists and activists in associations call for a « normalisation » of their relations with political parties, they refuse any invitation to engage in any “co-elaboration” of projects, which would cause them to assume responsibility for decisions which are not their prerogative. What they urge is a strategy of resonance rather than a strategy of alliance : confrontation rather than subordination.
