structuro-fonctionnalisme. La théorie du système social de Parsons repose sur deux types d'analyse, l'une structurelle et l'autre fonctionnelle, qui spécifient dans les deux cas le point de vue de l'action et celui du système social. Ces analyses présentent à la fois un aspect statique et un aspect dynamique.
