Nationalization of the Coastal World in Early Modern France

在对法国近代早期，特别是17、18世纪的海洋历史的研究中，我们研究了“皇家海军”（Marine Royale）的形成过程，以及在沿海地区谋生的“海员”的日常生活和心态。因此，我们首先澄清了，与路易十四统治时期的英国相比，法国拥有并维持着一支庞大的舰队，法国依靠这支军事力量推进其外交政策。其次，我们发现“海员”将沉船视为一种传统权利（或习俗），而政府则认为沉船是一种侵犯财产权和公权力的犯罪行为，因此希望予以禁止和严厉惩罚，两者在观念和心态上存在根本差异。我们可以看到，在这种趋势中，权力逐渐渗透和巩固到沿海地区，换句话说，沿海世界进入了“国有化”阶段。

In this study on the maritime history in Early Modern France, especially in the 17th and the 18th centuries, we researched into the process of making the "Marine Royale"(=Royal Navy) and the daily life and mentality of the "seamen" who made their living in the coastal districts.As a result, we clarified, first of all, that France made and maintained the great fleet compared with England under the reign of Louis XIV and that France pushed forward its foreign policy with this military power. Secondly, we found the fundamental difference of idea and mentality concerning the wrecking between the "seamen" who regarded it as the traditional right(or custom) and the government who wanted to prohibit and punish it severely because of crime against the property rights and the public authority. We can see, in this tendency, the gradual penetration and consolidation of authority into the coastal districts, in other words, a phase of "nationalization" of the coastal world.
