Companies in Asia: Law, History Empire Workshop
Companies have a long history in Asia. They are entangled with empires old and new, with multiple forms of government, rule and administration, with practices of territorialisation and deterritorialisation, waging war and making treaties, and the development and state-making projects. This workshop will include papers from several disciplines which engage with questions of companies and legalities in historical context with a focus on Asia.
The Workshop is supported by the Laureate Program in Global Corporations and International Law at the University of Melbourne Law School, the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law, the HKU Jerome Chan Memorial Lecture, and the University of Macau Faculty of Law.
The Laureate Program in Global Corporations and International Law
In 2022, Professor Sundhya Pahuja launched the Laureate Program in Global Corporations and International Law, a collaborative research program at the University of Melbourne Law School designed to rethink how we understand the company-state-(international) law relation in historical context.
