          Translated abstract

          Claiming that democratic regimes were basically procedural (or competitive) in character, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy published in 1942 by Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter, was a turning point in the theory of democracy. From then on, all major lines of the theory of democracy have been defined vis-à-vis the Schumpeterian conception, and many of the most influential ones fit his key premises. However, Schumpeter’s main conceptions of society and human nature have been inherited from a current of though that aimed at asserting the impossibility of any democratic organization: the so-called "theory of elites", materialized in the works of Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca and Robert Michels. The article tries to demonstrate that this legacy jeopardizes the prevailing conceptions of democracy and even the practices of western-type electoral regimes.

          Translated abstract

          La publication de Capitalisme, Socialisme et Démocratie de l’économiste autrichien Joseph Schumpeter en 1942 a représenté un tournant dans la théorie démocratique, avec l’affirmation du caractère essentiellement processif (ou concurrentiel) des régimes démocratiques. Désormais les lignes principales de la théorie de la démocratie allaient se définir par rapport à la conception schumpeterienne; et plusieurs des plus influents chercheurs se sont accomodés à ses présupposés fondamentaux. Néanmoins, les principales conceptions de Schumpeter sur la société et la nature humaine sont héritées d’un courant de pensée qui cherchait à affirmer l’impossibilité de toute organisation démocratique, appelé la "théorie des élites", cristalisée par les ouvrages de Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca et Robert Michels. L’article cherche à démontrer que ce legs compromet les conceptions dominantes de la démocratie jusque dans la pratique des régimes électoraux du type occidental.
