SUMMARY:Expropriation in Modern History
DESCRIPTION:The coercive seizure of property has been an important phenome
 non in the last two centuries of global history. From the age of colonial 
 expansion and absolutism through the emancipations of unfree populations a
 nd the world wars and revolutions of the twentieth century\, the large-sca
 le taking and redistribution of property has driven profound political\, e
 conomic and social change. Yet since the late writings of Max Weber\, the 
 role of expropriation in state formation and economic development has fall
 en by the wayside in political science\, economics\, and historical resear
 ch. In this talk\, historian Nicholas Mulder will explore what we can lear
 n from taking the confiscatory dimension of state power seriously\, as som
 ething more than just a dangerous force to be restrained\, but also as a c
 reative force whose power has reappeared over and over.\nOrganized  as pa
 rt of the annual theme 2026/27 „Red Lines“.\nMore Information
