| Summary: | Since the publication of John Brewer's The Sinews of Power in 1989, the analysis of the economics of naval warfare has been very present among British historians, and through this double issue, the Journal of History maritime hopes that it will take up a good place in French historiography, which presents in turn how piracy of the Hellenistic period must be understood as a maritime predation activity, what financial constraints and political and economic stakes have dominated the Fatimid naval activity in Egypt, or how the French Parliament, at the beginning of the Third Republic, has constantly sought to impose on the Navy its control... For twenty years, the Revue d'histoire maritime has been highlighting the research of historians around the world on the history of relationships that men have maintained, century after century, with the seas and the oceans--Page 4, cover.
