Document Summary
Expulsion, citizenship, statehood: germany, palestine & india, 1945-1951. There is a relationship between the rights one enjoys in a liberal democratic state and the murder and/or expulsion of others elsewhere. With regards to this relationship, there are both analytical and historical perspectives, which conflict with each other. Nation-state = an entity where the nation and state overlaps, or when the state is responsible, answers to and is controlled by one nation. The expulsions in europe, turkey and the middle east represent an arc of dispossession. Such arc begins with the balkan wars of 1913 and ends with the partition of india and. Expulsion = the forcible dispossession of one"s private property. With regards to the aftermath of atrocities, some groups hold an interest for exaggerating numbers. These groups serve a victim"s narrative; the narrative of those who were expelled. Contrastingly, other groups have an interest of minimizing such numbers.
