Resumo
The mobilisation of military resources in the early modern pe-riod involved the collaboration between state and society. This fact has been overlooked by those historians who have been intent on explain-ing the relationship between warfare and state- building. Our aim is to explore this historical question. Why has the state-society collaboration has been systematically downplayed in favour of the overarching idea of the state as the driving force and consequence of warfare and, ulti-mately, of development? We argue for the need to recover the analysis of the collaboration between state and society in the mobilisation of re-sources to understand the unequal impact of warfare on development. In the case of some countries, warfare led to the acquisition of great wealth, while, in the case of others, it drove them to ruin. We believe that collaboration is a crucial factor. Explaining the reasons why this collaboration has been played down by historians helps challenge the traditional interpretation that revolves around the paradigm of path-dependent state-building and the warfare-to-welfare effect.
