War has never completely disappeared, and situations of armed conflict have multiplied in recent times to such an extent that the phenomenon can be interpreted as a resurgence of conflict. Consider the wars in Ukraine, Iran, and other regions. This shows that economic globalization has not brought peace. Moreover, war is not easy to define, as it can take many different forms across a spectrum of conflict intensity. All forms of war are the subject of this conference: these may include classic armed conflicts as well as unarmed conflicts, which are now referred to as “atypical” war (D. Mainguy, 2023).
The aim is to examine the connections with economic law. War is primarily the concern of public international law, as well as its specialized branches such as humanitarian law. This event aims to examine the phenomenon of war from the perspective of economic law, through its methods, instruments, sanctions, and so on. How, then, can we understand war—in all its forms—within the framework of economic law? Its focus, however, is not war itself, nor its antonym, peace. Rather, it centers on economic relations. Nevertheless, war has repercussions on the economy such that the economic stakes of a war necessarily call for reflection in terms of economic law.
Issues to Be Examined
The conference does not aim to provide an exhaustive analysis of the questions raised by the relationship between war and economic law. Its goal is to shed new light on the subject through the study of both an “economic law of war” and a “law of economic war.”
