Résumé anglais Mutuality and social security: a tense couple, Bernard Gibaud. It took several years for mutualist circles to rally to the social security regime instituted by the French ordinance of October 4, 1945. Their hostility to the principle of compulsory insurance, inherited from the 19th century, came partly from their fear of losing the preponderant place that the laws of 1928-1930 on social insurance had given them. The 1945 clash was strong also because the proponents and the opponents of the unified regime were convinced that it would rapidly lead to the decline of mutualism. Pragmatism won however over principles. As early as the 1940s, it was within the new regime that the modernization of mutualism was designed with the civil servants' mutuals providing the impetus. The resuit of difficult negotiations, the 1947 law on the social protection of civil servants opened the way to the progressive affirmation of the mutuality-social security link as one of the principal guarantees of the solidity of the French System of social protection.
