Abstract

While mercantilists saw economics as an effective weapon to develop the power of the Prince, classical and neoclassical economics gradually eliminated issues of conflict between states from their analyses, as if economic knowledge of the benefits of the market and competition would eventually lead to a peaceful optimal situation. However, modern history shows the use of economic factors by the most powerful states to coerce other states for reasons that are not economic. In this context, the economy is both a means and an end, as other theories such as Marxist analyses, the German historical school or the claims of the New International Economic Order have emphasised. In this context, with regard to recalcitrant countries, it is a matter of controlling or stopping trade or impoverishing them by preparing for war. The economy can be a diplomatic and strategic weapon and a powerful instrument of political action (effects of domination and violence). However, its results are slow to emerge and it has perverse effects for all actors.
