Book War and Competition between States

Download or read book War and Competition between States written by Philippe Contamine and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000-11-23 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the five hundred years covered by this volume there was scarcely a year which passed without either war or some open demonstration of hostility between the many sovereign powers which governed Europe. States and peoples lived under the shadow of war, were ceaselessly prompted to consider the possibility of war, had to find ways of dealing with the consequences of war. This volume in the Origins of the Modern State in Europe series focuses on the crucial role of war in the formation of state systems. It starts from the assumption that interstate rivalries and conflicts were at the heart not only of the demarcation of territories, but also of the ever-growing need to mobilize resources for warfare. Institutionalization was consequently highly dependent on such competition. It was for military reasons, and with military aims, that the state secured control of time and space, both at sea and on land. The Origins of the Modern State in Europe series arises from an important international research programme sponsored by the European Science Foundation. The aim of the series, which comprises seven volumes, is to bring together specialists from different countries, who reinterpret from a comparative European perspective different aspects of the formation of the state over the long period from the beginning of the thirteenth to the end of the eighteenth century. One of the main achievements of the research programme has been to overcome the long-established historiographical tendency to regard states mainly from the viewpoint of their twentieth-century borders.

Book Guerre et concurrence entre les Etats europ ens du XIVe au XVIIIe si cle

Download or read book Guerre et concurrence entre les Etats europ ens du XIVe au XVIIIe si cle written by Philippe Contamine and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 1998 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce volume est le résultat du travail de l'atelier I du programme international de recheches Origins of the Modern State, organisé sous l'égide de la Fondation européenne de la Science. L'objectif de ce programme, qui a regroupé pendant quatre ans une centaine de spécialistes originaires d'une vingtaine de pays différents, est d'offrir une interprétation neuve dans une perspective comparative européenne, embrassant la longue durée et réunissant des spécialistes de diverses disciplines (histoire, philosophie, histoire de l'art, sciences politiques, histoire du droit et sciences juridiques), d'un processus crucial pour l'histoire de l'Europe, à savoir les différents aspects de la formation de l'Etat du XIIIe au XVIIIe siècle. Guerre et concurrence entre les Etats européens du XIVe au XVIIIe siècle expose un fait d'évidence : la guerre fut alors le plus puissant aiguillon dans la croissance du pouvoir d'Etat. Maint épisode montre à l'œuvre d'âpres courses aux armements, sur terre comme sur mer. La guerre conduisit les Etats souverains à mieux exploiter leur territoire. Ils affirmèrent être seuls en droit de la déclarer et d'y mettre fin. Pour financer leurs guerres, ils mirent au point une lourde fiscalité. Non sans mal, les gens de guerre devinrent des militaires. A maintes reprises, les Etats se persuadèrent que leurs guerres revêtaient un caractère sacré. Toutefois, au tableau de cette concurrence souvent implacable des retouches doivent être apportées : au plan des faits et des idées, des forces intervinrent afin de contenir les effets destructeurs de la guerre, le concept d'équilibre européen et de concert des nations ne fut pas étranger aux gouvernants. Les gouvernés, eux, attendirent de plus en plus de l'Etat un rôle dépassant le domaine militaire. Tout se passe comme si les Etats n'avaient été que rarement jusqu'au bout de l'exercice de leur puissance. A travers les cinq siècles envisagés, une respiration se dessine qui devait aboutir au XVIIIe siècle à l'idée que la guerre représentait une phase dépassée dans l'histoire de l'Europe.
