Resumen de L'amont et l'aval d'une loi électorale: Les "élections de changement de régime" en Pologne en juin 1989 sous l'angle d'une sociologie politique du droit
This article analyzes the process of regime change with the tools of political sociology of law. It examines the “ semi-free ” elections in Poland in June 1989. The author studies the codification process during the “ Round Table ” negotiations, which produces an ad hoc and ambiguous electoral rule. The various uses, partly unexpected, of the law by the main actors (the Communist Party, Soli- darity and the candidates) are reconstructed. They helped transform an election designed to save the communist regime in a tool for its collapse
