De la boutique artisanale à l’atelier flexible, de la proto-industrie aux restructurations, les quatre siècles d’histoire des arsenaux de terre sont ceux des ingénieurs de l’Armement aux sources de la continuité de l’État et des « ouvriers de l’État » dont les privilèges, comme ceux de l’entrepreneur, redessinent l’Ancien Régime, et les statuts successifs les Empires et les Républiques, bref, les consensus nationaux. Les archives nationales et syndicales retracent l’élaboration de la rationalisation du travail ou du concept de « nationalisation » des programmes de gauche. Le syndicalisme naissant, le basculement vers le pacifisme des militants de 1918, l’engagement résistant de ceux de 1940, les révocations des années 1950, le pluralisme syndical de la fin du xxe siècle sont éclairés sous un nouveau jour. Étrange destin que celui d’hommes de paix travaillant pour la guerre ! Illustrissimes, l’on ignorait un peu de ce qu’ils furent : Danton, Thomas, Tillon, Gonin… Inconnus, ils sont parfois essentiels : Gervaise et Voilin, précurseurs de la CGT et de la gauche, les ingénieurs visionnaires Danzel ou Enjalbert… une multitude a contribué à façonner notre monde, militants des villes de manufacture et d’arsenal ou simples héritiers de dynasties ouvrières… Douze larges extraits de documents originaux dont 10 inédits, 32 illustrations, 24 graphiques et tableaux introduisent le lecteur dans cet univers qui n’est autre que le sien… et où la volonté politique l’emporte sur la fatalité, au rebours des idéologies dominantes.

"Challenging the traditional view of arms dealers as agents of their own countries, Jonathan Grant asserts that these firms pursued their own economic interests while convincing their homeland governments that weapons sales delivered national prestige and could influence foreign countries. From the rise of Remington and Winchester during the American Civil War, to the German firm Krupp's negotiations with the Russian government, to an intense military modernization contest between Chile and Argentina, Grant chronicles how an arms trade led to an all-out arms race, and ultimately to war."--BOOK JACKET.

How did Britain's most prominent armaments firms, Armstrongs and Vickers, build their businesses and sell armaments in Britain and overseas from 1855 to 1955? Joanna Spear presents a comparative analysis of these firms and considers the relationships they built with the British Government and foreign states. She reveals how the firms developed and utilized independent domestic strategies and foreign policies against the backdrop of imperial expansion and the two world wars. Using extensive new research, this study examines the challenges the two firms faced in making domestic and international sales including the British Government's commitment to laissez faire policies, prejudices within the British elite against those in trade, and departmental resistance to dealing with private firms. It shows the suite of strategies and tactics that the firms developed to overcome these obstacles to selling arms at home and abroad and how they built enduring relationships with states in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East.

"Governments today are waging a 'war against the people' - whether 'securitization' against asylum seekers in Fortress Europe, 'counterinsurgency' in Afghanistan, or the subliminal war of policing and surveillance arising everywhere. Israel's contribution to this is key: exporting the high-tech weaponry, security systems and methods of pacification perfected on the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Jeff Halper exposes these technologies of control, which blur the lines between the military, domestic security agencies and police, and reveals Israel's pivotal role in the worldwide suppression of human rights"--Back cover.

À une époque où l’existence et la nature de l’armement, conventionnel ou nucléaire, sont questionnées par les bouleversements géopolitiques et stratégiques, le recours à une perspective historique et comparative est indispensable. Pour comprendre les relations complexes entre armement et nation, cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois une histoire longue des systèmes d’innovation, de production et d’usage en matière d’armement. Principalement axé sur la France, il entend développer de nombreux points de comparaison entre pays, s’attarder sur les structures comme sur les hommes, analyser les techniques comme les modes productifs, regarder les ingénieurs de l’armement comme le monde des industriels et celui des savants. Dans le cas français, l’ingénierie des armements relève du monde administratif et technique « ordinaire » et les corps d’armement ont joué un rôle pionnier dans de nombreux champs scientifiques et techniques, dans la géodésie, l’instrumentation et la métrologie notamment, ou encore dans la rationalisation industrielle. Ce volume, issu d’un colloque organisé par le Comité pour l’histoire de l’armement, propose un panorama complet du système français d’innovation en matière d’armement depuis deux siècles. Une vingtaine de chercheurs français et étrangers - historiens, économistes et sociologues - se sont attachés à combler une lacune historiographique. Le lecteur y trouvera informations inédites, thèses de qualité et motifs à réflexion.
