Abstract:
In Corporate Sovereignty, Joshua Barkan argues that corporate power should be rethought as a mode of political sovereignty. Situating analysis of U.S., British, and international corporate law alongside careful readings in political and social theory, he demonstrates that the Anglo-American corporation and modern political sovereignty are founded in and bound together through a principle of legally sanctioned immunity from law.
