Summary
RÉSUMÉ. Les statistiques souvent incomplètes et faussées du commerce maritime international peuvent être remplacées par une analyse de la circulation entre les ports, telle que mesurée par le « Lloyd's Shipping Index ». Jusqu'à la seconde guerre mondiale, les ports britanniques et d'Europe occidentale demeurèrent les centres névralgiques du commerce international mais par la suite, la puissance économique et politique des États-Unis s'exprima à travers la densité de leur commerce extérieur. À la fin du XXe siècle, le commerce international devint multipolaire, sans qu'aucun pays dominant ne se détache.
ABSTRACT. Incomplete and distorted statistics of international seaborne trade can be replaced by an analysis of flows from port to port drawn from Lloyd's Shipping Index. Up until the Second World War, British and Western European ports remained the centres of international trade. After it, the political and economic power of the U.S.A. was expressed by the density of its overseas trade. By the end of the 20thcentury world trade was multipolar, with no one dominant country.
INTRODUCTION
Le rôle du fait maritime dans l'évolution des sociétés humaines est difficile à évaluer faute d'informations précises sur l'importance même de l'activité maritime à l'échelle mondiale. Les statistiques de tonnage portuaire ne couvrent que partiellement le globe ou la période contemporaine. Le recours aux pavillons pour comparer la taille de la flotte des pays reste un pis-aller eu égard aux immatriculations échappant aux contraintes fiscales. Les nombreux travaux faisant le point sur une région et/ou une période donnée sont difficilement synthétisables tant les sources utilisées diffèrent. l'une des rares solutions restantes est de considérer la façon dont ports, régions, ou nations sont reliés les uns aux autres par les flux du commerce maritime. Ceci est possible grâce à la redécouverte d'archives jusqu'ici inexploitées, celles de l'assureur maritime Lloyd's sur les mouvements de navires dans le monde, publiées depuis l'année 1696 de façon quotidienne ou hebdomadaire.
PRÉSENTATION DE LA SOURCE ET RÉSULTATS PRÉLIMINAIRES
La présente analyse propose ainsi de mesurer le nombre d'escales de navires par pays et couple de pays au niveau mondial à cinq dates-clé de la période contemporaine(1890, 1925, 1960, 1985 et 2008).
