Critical management authors are constantly searching for alternative models. We could learn from the study of the functioning of pirate communities, for example. It would have been important for the critical authors to have an example of a real pirate city organized under libertarian principles, such as the Republic of Salé (1627-1641/1666). Unfortunately, the study of this case, based on historical sources, shows that it was not an ideal pirate city, but rather a maritime city state, a plutocracy, inserted in national and international trade networks. Even when demythologized, the pirate utopia remains a fascinating part of our collective imaginary and thus could provide us with solutions to the limitations of existing models. One could, however, say that fully assumed fiction would have more impact than this false reality to which is attributed things that did not even exist.
Dès le e siècle, un siècle marqué par des con its religieux en Europe, le Maghreb devient le réceptacle d'aventuriers de di érents horizons venus tenter fortune sous ses cieux. Les promesses de butin de la course ne manquent pas d'attirer un nombre important de cette classe d'hommes que les documents contemporains désignent sous l'appellation de « gens de mer ». Les foyers corsaires ont donc été l'un des points vers lesquels ont convergé ces hommes qui ont utilisé les ports de Tripoli, Tunis, Alger, Tétouan ou encore de Salé comme bases logistiques pour porter les coups les plus sévères à la marine marchande européenne. Ces hommes ont également initié les Maghrébins aux nouvelles techniques de construction navale et à la manoeuvre des voiles, ce qui a permis à ces derniers de transformer radicalement leurs techniques de navigation, en particulier dans la guerre de course qui connaît alors un développement inédit. Leur apport est particulièrement important dans le domaine militaire et certains exercent d'importantes charges administratives. Dans le présent travail, nous nous xons pour objectif d'étudier, sous divers angles, les transferts techniques, notamment dans les domaines navals et militaires, opérés par ces acteurs venus d'ailleurs, de l'Europe essentiellement mais aussi du monde ottoman installés dans les villes portuaires marocaines du e au e siècle. Les marins du Nord, instigateurs de la marine à voile au Maghreb Les nouvelles techniques de construction navale rent leur apparition dans les ports corsaires du Maghreb dès le début du e siècle.
Privateering was a common enterprise in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the waters between the Azores, the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula. Within this ‘oceanic triangle’, both Salé, on the Moroccan coast, and the Canary Islands, in the domains of the Spanish Crown, played an important role. Although privateers from Salé and the Canary Islands evolved in different ways, they were intricately linked through their proximity to one another. This article explores the relationships between the two and the impact of privateering on their respective ports.
