TL;DR: The importance of the lien social as the ground of social action has been emphasized by sociologists as mentioned in this paper, who argue that it does not work essentially as a limitation of the behavioural freedom of the individuals; it rather works as the cement of society and by this way, as a strengthening social action by securing its effects.
Abstract: Lien social is the French name meaning a basic issue of the social theory: the very ground of society, the reason why individuals access society; but it is also employed, more generally or perhaps more particularly, to mean whatever relationship binds individuals to each other. An example of the latter meaning may be seen in the title of a book recently shown in the window of a Parisian bookstore: L'amitie, un type de lien social. To speak about it I prefer to use a French utterance, also within English speech, because of its long tradition of its continuing appeal: resulting, among others, from an international conference organized by the French speaking sociologists in the late 1980s, concerning just this theme (Coenen-Huther, 1989). But I think that its importance could not be confined within the boundaries of a specific cultural tradition, although of one belonging to the mainstream of Western civilization: on the contrary, the time should have arrived when sociologists ought finally to speak to each other leaving aside, as far as possible, national specific cultural frames, or much better, also considering these as an issue for sociological analysis. Following the scholars having given the lien social their best attention, this does not work essentially as a limitation of the behavioural freedom of the individuals; it rather works as the cement of society (to refer to a well-known treatise concerning our issue: Elster (1989)): and by this way, as a strengthening of social action by securing its effects. Indeed, the real problem for some of them, is that of the ground of the lien social: so that, in case of a bad working of the ties binding people in society, one could try to restore, to draw up again the necessary cement of community (which in this case, I think it would be better to say instead of society) (Bolle de Bal, 1996). But, yet considering the same scholars, I fear that the same attention has not been paid to the basic distinction between the sociological point of view and the others, particularly to the philosophical and the psychological ones. While transdisciplinarity (that is a real need for modern social scientists) is not to be confused with a mere, trivial overlapping of the three viewpoints.
