Abstract | Classical and more recent studies state the fact that economic developments and political / military incidents are closely interrelated. Surprisingly, very little research has been done on this intersection so far, which has put a tight limit on chances for dialogue and collaboration between the two disciplines. This is partly due to the low number of sources allowing direct insights into areas where war and economy overlap, as, for instance, books of the treasuries would. Therefore, many studies remain impressionistic or tend to focus on cultural aspects. |
