“…For more details on the role of intendants in the judgement of the fiscal litigation, see Pigeon (2011) whose analysis focuses on the intendants of the généralité of Rouen during the 18th century. Interestingly, Favier reports intendants' complains about the fact that these tax breaks were often considered as perennial by the inhabitants who did not hesitate to ask for an additional tax break only few years after receiving the first one.…”

The potential link between climate variability, conflict, and migration is increasingly viewed as a security issue by policy makers. Climate variability and extremes raise critical challenges to agriculture and food production all over the world, and lead to diminished coping capacity, loss of livelihoods, as well as migration flows. The essays in this dissertation raise the question of resilience to shocks in preindustrial economies using the cases of France and Savoy during the Ancien Régime. More specifically, it documents the role of institutions and migration in reducing the vulnerability to climate shocks and hence violence. It further studies both the effect of seasonal migration as a resilience strategy against adverse economic conditions, and the socio-economic consequences of large and unexpected episode of migration.
