La guerre au prisme de l'intérêt Modèle transactionnel de la guerre, économie des moyens et économie de la violence au temps de Tristan

The forms of ending combat in the wars of the first half of the seventeenth century were varied: honorable surrenders and negotiated ends alongside massacres and abuses carried out by the victors. Only the notion of interest allows us to understand the uncertainty that reigns over the fate of the conquered. A transactional model of war and violence is then formed in which the belligerents adopt the most rational attitude in view of the principles of the economy of means.
