Conference "Comparative Perspectives on Taxation and the Colonial State"
-
TAL 007
How did European colonialism work? What long-term effects did it have on Europe and the world? And who had to pay for European domination, both literally and figuratively? Although these questions have been debated for decades, they have recently received renewed scholarly and public attention. What is still lacking, however, is a comparative perspective that would allow us to analyze the similarities and differences in the methods employed by the various colonial powers.
The international conference "Taxation and the Colonial State" aims to build such a comparative framework with regard to the area of colonial finance by fostering discussion among scholars who have focused primarily on individual colonial powers or colonies.
Funded by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, the conference is organized by Marc Buggeln and Jan Kreutz (both Forschungsstelle für regionale Zeitgeschichte und Public History) as part of their DFG-funded research project "Die Konturen des Kolonialstaats. Steuer- und Haushaltspolitik in den deutschen Kolonien 1884-1914".
