Crise et guerre sont-elles liées ?

Abstract

This article states that economic links exist between crisis and war. In a first part, it insists on the necessity to give up the line and framework of the neoclassical mainstream in order to understand such an issue in its complexity. The second part deals with the origins of the current systemic crisis. The third part analyses the moments of this crisis and wars in which the hegemonic power of the world system is involved. Then, it examines, in a fourth part, the control exercised by high finance on the military sector, including military-industrial complex and private military societies. In the final part, the effects of these links between crisis and war on the exacerbation of the current capitalist contradictions are studied.
