This project aims to investigate the history of the relationship between the corporation and the state to understand tensions between states and large multinational corporations. Such tensions are as old as the state system itself and can only be reconstructed through history. The project will focus on chartered companies’ attempt to present themselves as forms of sovereign, or quasi-sovereign, political systems, bringing them into rivalry with the sovereign claims of states. This project is expected to provide a deeper understanding of the political character of corporations.

该项目旨在调查公司与国家之间关系的历史，以了解国家与大型跨国公司之间的紧张关系。这种紧张关系与国家制度本身一样古老，只能通过历史来重建。该项目将侧重于特许公司试图将自己表现为主权或准主权政治制度的形式，使它们与国家的主权要求相竞争。这个项目预计将提供一个更深入的了解公司的政治性质。
