To illuminate the debate about the traditional role of the state in Quebec, the article suggests Quebec's traditional political culture prior to the Quiet Revolution was shaped by the "dialectic of patronage." Economic need encouraged Québécois to exploit the political process for advancement. The resulting preoccupation of the political process with patronage prompted two contradictory impulses-devotion to, yet suspicion of, the political process-and efforts to insulate "government" from "politics." This perspective helps to reveal the thematic and chronological continuities in Quebec history, to illuminate the Quiet Revolution, and to evaluate competing theories of Quebec's social evolution. /// Pour faire avancer le débat autour du rôle de l'�E9 le texte examine l'hypothèse que la culture politique du Québec d'avant 1960 a été façonnée par une << dialectique du patronage >>. Les impératifs économiques ont mis le patronage au coeur de la vie politique québécoise, ce qui a suscité deux tendances contradictoires : dévotion envers la politique mais aussi méfiance à son égard. On essaie alors en vain d'isoler le << gouvernement >> de la << politique >>. Une telle hypothèse aide à comprendre les continuités, tant thématiques que chronologiques, dans l'histoire du Québec; à éclairer la nature de la Révolution tranquille; et à évaluer certaines théories courantes sur l'évolution sociale du Québec.
