Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Twentieth-century Europe saw many transfers and exchanges of ethnic and religious minority populations. This research project focuses on population transfers and the confiscation of property in the settlement of international disputes, and aims to analyze state interventions in individual property and the right of residence of inhabitants in twentieth-century Europe. It has three points of focus: (i) the radicalization of expulsion of ethnic minorities for the sake of homogenous nation-state building in the first half of the twentieth century; (ii) the forced migration of ethnic minorities and confiscation of their property in the settlement of World War II as well as the restructuring of the ethnic order in Eastern Europe in the postwar period; (iii) the transformation of historical memory and narratives about such population transfers in changing international situations during and after the Cold War.
