2 July 2024. Workshop (Durban, South Africa). Companies in Africa: Law, History, Empire
School of Law, University of KwaZulu-Natal
Companies have a long history in Africa. 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 with development and state-making projects. This workshop will include papers from multiple disciplines, which engage with questions of companies and legalities in historical context with a focus on Africa, or with a focus on other regions of the South, but methodologically aligned to these concerns.
The Workshop is supported by the Laureate Program in Global Corporations and International Law at the Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, and the School of Law, University of KwaZulu-Natal.
The call for papers is here.
