Renaud advocated what he called 'organic solidarity'.

As the societies become more complex, evolving from mechanical to organic solidarity, the division of labor is counteracting and replacing collective consciousness.

Second, there is a more complex and modern integration based on abstracted interdependence, which is known as organic solidarity or Gesellschaft.

People in organic solidarity have more specialized skills, so individuals are no longer self-sustaining.

In contrast, a restitutive law system is characteristic of organic solidarity.

(Rueschemeyer, 1982) Hence, it does not follow logically that dynamic density would cause the transition from mechanical to organic solidarity.

In organic solidarity, people are much more integrated and interdependent and specialisation and cooperation is extensive.

In this context, Durkheim distinguished two forms of structural relationship: mechanical solidarity and organic solidarity.

In the social sciences, the organic model has been drawn upon for ideas such as mechanical and organic solidarity and organic unity.

This is symptomatic of a failure of economic development and division of labour to produce Durkheim's organic solidarity.
