Summary/Abstract: Economic calculation lies at the basis of the actions of both individuals and states. Through more or less visible, subtle and insidious actions, avoiding the risks of military actions, but more effective than these, the decrease in the resources of a state through economic confrontation has the potential to generate in the target state, in addition to minimising military power, instability, resurgence of nationalism and violence. It is desirable, in the author’s opinion, to maintain the confrontation only at the economic level, by preventing the conflict escalation and avoiding reaching in a situation whose only solution could be resorting to violent actions, as an effect of the deterrence achieved by the actions specific to this type of confrontation.
