SUMMARY:Conference "Comparative Perspectives on Taxation and the Colo
 nial State" 
DESCRIPTION:How did European colonialism work? What long-term effects did 
 it have on Europe and the world? And who had to pay for European dominatio
 n, both literally and figuratively? Although these questions have been deb
 ated for decades, they have recently received renewed scholarly and public
  attention. What is still lacking, however, is a comparative perspective t
 hat would allow us to analyze the similarities and differences in the meth
 ods employed by the various colonial powers.The international conference "
 Taxation and the Colonial State" aims to build such a comparative framewor
 k with regard to the area of colonial finance by fostering discussion amon
 g scholars who have focused primarily on individual colonial powers or col
 onies.Funded by the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung, the conference is organized by
  Marc Buggeln and Jan Kreutz (both Forschungsstelle für regionale Zeitges
 chichte und Public History) as part of their DFG-funded research project "
 Die Konturen des Kolonialstaats. Steuer- und Haushaltspolitik in den deuts
 chen Kolonien 1884-1914".  further information
