Abstract

The links between war and the economy are historically close, both being, in turn, ends and means. In some case, civil or military war are prerequisites for economic development and a factor of economic power. In other case, it is a burden and an incitation for war. Economic warfare can also aim at weakening the military power of a state. There are two objectives to economic warfare: to coerce the enemy and to dominate the partners. The nature of "war" has changed, it is not the main concern of today's societies, but it is a recurrent threat. It no longer puts battalions on a battlefield. It is becoming diffuse, based on political and economic variables.
