Des premiers empires à la première mondialisation, xvie-xxe siècles : simples influences ou répétition g Auteur(s) : Bardet, Flavien Éditeur(s) : Université des Antilles Études caribéennes Résumé : Nous tenterons de décoder les liens unissant le nouvel âge des impérialismes européens à la première mondialisation, ces deux périodes coexistant parfaitement dans les années 1870-1914. À travers une revue de la période fondatrice des nouveaux impérialismes précédant la Première Guerre mondiale, nous dégagerons un tableau de normes démontrant à quel point la première mondialisation sut s’inspirer de concepts développés pour l’expansion impériale des grandes puissances, tout en insistant sur les différences inhérentes à ces deux façons de concevoir les relations internationales. We will explore the bonds linking the new age of European imperialism to the first globalized economy of the period 1870-1914, since both developed concurrently. Through a general overview of the development of Europe’s new concepts of empire prior to the First World War, we will try to establish norms tending to show how the first globalization of the 19th century found its inspiration in concepts that had been established to foster the colonial expansion of the great European Powers. Still, we will also insist on the differences between these two ways of conceiving international relations.
