Introduction : new forms of organization and the coordination of political and commercial actors / Emily Erikson, Valentina Assenova -- The ideology of the imperial corporation : "informal" empire revisited / Philip J. Stern -- Principal agent relations and the decline of the Royal African Company / Matthew Norton -- Raisins d'Etat : trade, politics and diplomacy in the history of the Levant Company / Martin Devecka -- Colonial institutions and trade patterns / Emily Erikson, Sampsa Samila -- Private trade and monopoly structures : the East India Companies and the commodity trade to Europe in the eighteenth century / Maxine Berg ... [et al.] -- A closed elite? Bristol's Society of Merchant Venturers and the abolition of slave trading / Timo Böhm, Henning Hillmann -- Own, rent, or rent-seek? Vertical integration in historical chartered monopolies / Santhi Hejeebu -- Bottlenecks and East Indies Companies : modeling the geography of agency in mercantilist enterprises / Julia Adams, Chris Shugrue -- Scientists as free riders : natural resource exploration and new product discovery in the Dutch East India Company / Matthew Sargent -- An ancient scheme : the Mississippi Company, Machiavelli and the Casa di San Giorgio, (1407-1720) / Carlo Taviani -- "A state in disguise of a merchant?" The English East India Company as a strategic action field, ca. 1763-1834 / Nicholas Wilson.

Chartered companies, the organizational precursors to modern multinationals, acted as the primary vehicles behind the expansion of European political and economic hegemony, and were thus central to the creation of modern global political and economic institutions, and international trade and relations. This volume covers the evolution of the chartered company form, beginning with one of the earliest known chartered organizations, Casa di San Giorgio, founded in 1407. Also included are the Merchant Adventurers, the Levant Company, the English and Dutch East India Companies, Royal African Company, and Hudson's Bay Company. Collectively, the contributions employ comparative methods, archival research, case studies, statistical analyses, computational models, network analyses, and new theoretical conceptualizations to map out the complex interactions that took place within the companies between state and commercial actors in and across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas interactions that renegotiated and ultimately institutionalized what were to become modern conceptions of public and private and defined many of the political and economic structures of capitalism.
