Le cadrage juridique, une ressource politique

Abstract

The article relies on an empirical research on the emergence of the discrimination problem through the creation of the French High Autority Fighting against Discrimination and for Equality (HALDE). Discovery of the large scale of discrimination threatened French enculturation model. Juridicisation and universalization of fight against discrimination prevent political controversies by preserving Republican grammar which conflicts public recognition of ethnic minority. Juridical framing was used as a political resource by politicians to avoid a confrontational politicization in public arenas. © De Boeck Université. Tous droits réservés pour tous pays.
