| Summary: | Mercantilism views the population as wealth, as a resource that must be protected. To prevent emigration and transform it into controlled expatriation, the States implement restrictive legislation. In France, this desire is reflected in a series of texts designed to prevent its subjects from settling permanently abroad. Through these measures the government pursues several objectives. The most important being to ensure that the assets amassed by the expatriates eventually find their way back to France. Another objective concerns only non-Catholic countries and, first and foremost, the Ottoman Empire. The authorities try to do everything possible to prevent their nationals converting to Islam. The article offers an analysis of the motivations that lead the French government to control expatriation. Above all, it will clarify the role that French consuls play in its implementation. |
