Great progress has been made over the last decade in knowledge of the various systems of military supply used by the different European states in the 18th century. There is thus a clear institutional differentiation between the model of relations with the private market established by the British parliamentary monarchy or the Dutch republic and the model characteristic of absolute monarchies, such as those in France or Spain. This article undertakes an initial assessment of the Spanish trend of asiento general as the preferred option for procurement, clearly connected to the French case. Without ruling out the influence of political organisation, we aim to refine the institutional approach, endeavouring to locate other factors of an economic, administrative or social nature which likewise appear to be determinants of the model of military supply. These arguments are related to the encouragement of national industry and the administrative modernisation of the state, which can end up leading to the desire to separate the military organisation from this type of business.

在过去的十年中，人们对18世纪欧洲不同国家所使用的各种军事供应系统的认识已取得了长足的进步。因此，在英国议会君主制或荷兰共和国建立的与私人市场的关系模型与法国，西班牙等绝对君主制模型之间存在明显的制度区别。本文对西班牙人的asiento一般趋势进行了初步评估作为采购的首选方案，显然与法国案有关。在不排除政治组织影响的情况下，我们旨在完善制度方法，努力寻找其他经济，行政或社会性质的因素，这些因素似乎也是军事供应模式的决定因素。这些论点与鼓励民族工业和国家行政现代化有关，最终可能导致人们希望将军事组织从这种类型的业务中分离出来。
