Abstract
This chapter has only for an ambition to introduce the present book with obiter dicta about the bridge between defence ‘realm’ and economics ‘realm’ named ‘defence economics’. Especially to non-French readers it proposes some insights into the French defence institutions and policy which could be startling, by nature and by the fact that the French reality is rarely presented in defence specialised journals. To realise the introductory function, the chapter reviews 100 papers, which were available online at the beginning of 2011 spring, and tries to classify them along the lines drawn from a tentative to define precisely the concept of defence policy, for the sake of the too rare students interested in defence studies.
