Abstract
The development of an anthropological approach to political facts in the European area is a récent element. The author describes the obstacles which hindered this development. He then examines the concept of political space, the abject of that anthropology. This concept must be understood in its two-fold meaning : the space of political representation, a pattern of networks where one moves constantly beyond the limits defined by local communities and the space of political action in which the reference to territoriality, to the hierarchical opposition of center and periphery, rules the practices and the discourse of the elected. The gap between these two spaces is at the heart of the political anthropology of modern societies.
