Abstract: The economics of defence and international security is not a specific research discipline in France, unlike the fields of health and education. However, wars have historically been factors of predation, domination, colonisation or slavery as organised economic systems. Today, how can we approach the international economy without highlighting international or civil wars, economic wars and conflicts, the effects of domination, the real or potential existence of military-industrial complexes, the importance of the arms industries, the considerable influence of military research and technology on economic development. Any system of armament or disarmament has a considerable influence on the economic life of states, especially for arms producers.
