Abstract

The world economic and strategic landscape has radically changed, with the end of US-Soviet antagonism and the liberalization of world trade and financial flows. The disarmament of the 1990s was only temporary and gave the impulse to a reorganization of the world military industry allowing the USA to reinforce their military supremacy (Part I). Is militarism essential to capitalism? This may be asked, given the maintenance of numerous international tensions in spite of globalization and the importance of the technological and industrial links between the military and civil sector, in the post-Cold War era. The importance of the American armament is likely to favour conflicts, as it obliges the adversaries to innovate and to find new techniques to erode the American power.
