| Summary: | This article explores the « paradox of authority » faced by Corsican revolutionaries : to establish themselves as a coercive power and, at the same time, exert a seductive force on the population and, more specifically, on market actors. Our analysis examines by what means the rebel proto-state led by Pascal Paoli (1755-1769) manages to insert itself into the market as a regulator and, ultimately, as a fully legitimate state over its territory. Our reflection thus invites to place the Corsican war against the Republic of Genoa in the background : we can thus underline the idea that a state, more than being fought against, must be replaced on a territory. |
