Book Synopsis


Trade Review

Corporate Sovereignty provides a genealogy of corporate power, and argues that it is historically and ontologically linked to modern political sovereignty. Joshua Barkan takes the reader with care and attention through complex legal debates, and draws out those aspects that are fascinating in the contemporary context. He contributes to the academic debate concerning understandings of corporate power in the age of globalization, and speaks to theoretical debates concerning the theoretisation of the exception, as is done through the work of Agamben and others. The result is a wonderful book that genuinely sheds new light on our current understandings of corporate power.—Marieke de Goede, University of Amsterdam
