Interest in the history of ownership rights is growing and
spreading to different disciplines. Historians are turning their
attention mainly to the rise of private and individual ownership as
it was codified in 19th-century liberal Europe. In writing this
history, however, their perspective has too often ignored the other
side of the coin, namely the restrictions which the sovereign
imposed on such rights, allegedly in the interest of the community.
The papers collected in the present volume suggest that private
property is not necessarily the most safeguarded legal model, hence
it is not less vulnerable to violation. They construct a close
analysis of the most common forms of abuse of private property on
record - expropriation, seizure, and confiscation - perpetrated by
public authorities. They also seek to define the uneasy, often
intricate relation between legal and legitimate. In a perspective
of lights and shadows, the role of confiscation and expropriation
changes : now seen as powerful instruments of change, now as
enduring factors of conservation in the evolution of private
ownership rights. Les droits de propriete sont depuis longtemps au
coeur de l'interet de diverses disciplines. L'attention des
historiens s'est focalisee surtout sur la naissance de la propriete
privee et individuelle telle qu'elle a ete codifiee dans l'Europe
liberale du XIXe siecle. Toutefois, son histoire a trop souvent
neglige l'autre face de la medaille, a savoir les limites fixees a
ce droit par le souverain au nom de l'interet de la collectivite.
Les contributions figurant dans ce volume suggerent que la
propriete privee individuelle ne represente pas le modele juridique
le plus apte a la proteger face aux risques d'infraction. Au coeur
des analyses il y a les formes historiques de la violation de la
propriete privee - expropriations, saisies, confiscations -
perpetrees par les autorites et le rapport, souvent complexe et
ambigue, entre les dimensions de la legalite et de la legitimite.
Dans un jeu d'ombres et de lumieres, les confiscations et les
expropriations se dessinent a la fois comme de puissants
instruments de changement et de tenaces facteur de conservation
dans l'evolution des formes de propriete.
