“…Згодом компанія все більше інтегрувалася в британську військову та колоніальну політику, так само як більшість британських корпорацій по суті залежали від здатності британського флоту контролювати торговельні шляхи. [2] Наступним цікавим прикладом в Англії була Компанія для британської торгівлі у Південних морях. [3] Так, відповідно до історичних документів, компанія була заснована у 1711 році англійським економістом Джоном Блантом.…”

The article "Legal regulation of some types of companies in Great Britain" is devoted to a retrospective research of commercial law in England, as well as an analysis of some modern types of companies in the United Kingdom. The commercial law background in England has a very deep history. Thus, the author pays attention to the development of trade relations in the British Empire, starting with the peculiarities of the British East India Company, a company so powerful that it once dominated almost the entire Indian subcontinent. Particular emphasis is given to the South Sea Company, essentially one of the first and most successful joint-stock companies of its time with its own characteristics. Against the background of the gradual development of that company, there was a need to adopt the Bubbles Act, which for almost a whole century prohibited the creation of new companies, regulating the activities of joint stock companies. After analyzing the historical development of commercial law in England, the author analyzed the further development of such relations with the description of modern legislation of Great Britain. Author has payed attention that one of the biggest commercial law acts in the United Kingdom is the Companies Act, 2006, which concentrated the provisions of many previous acts of the XIX-XX centuries, incorporating two main features of company law - a simple registration procedure and limited liability. Today the main types of companies in Great Britain are governed by the Companies Act 2006, which primarily distinguishes between limited and unlimited companies. In addition, the law also names private and public companies, as well as other types of companies. A separate legislative act, dated 1890, regulates the concept and features of a partnership, a special form of which is the LLP - a limited liability partnership, which is also regulated by a separate regulatory document. England is the country with the sixth largest economy in the world, it is the first in Europe and the second country in the world after the USA - the largest provider of military aid to Ukraine, a rapidly developing country - and, therefore, its experience, retrospective analysis and research of modern legal institutions - are relevant, timely and useful for research and study.

“…In this way, chartered companies became "an organ of imperial expansion." 69 In the case of Freeport, the CoW not only encompasses the mining rights in West Papua but delegates administration and defense in the CoW area. In 1967, when the contract was signed, the rights covered approximately 24,700 acres, but by 1991 this had expanded into 4.8 million acres.…”

Freeport and the States: Politics of Corporations and Contemporary Colonialism in West Papua

Corporations often claim to be economic actors solely interested in capital accumulation. However, historical and anthropological scholarship has argued they have had outsized political roles, especially during high colonialism when transnational corporations such as the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company shaped colonial entities. This article explores the case of American mining company Freeport-McMoRan, which runs the world’s largest gold and copper mine in West Papua, and its entanglement with contemporary imperial and colonial projects in the region. Through the study of the company’s decisive role in the transfer of West Papua from the Dutch to Indonesia during the decolonization period of the 1960s, and in the formation of the postcolonial Indonesian state characterized by its militaristic and capitalistic stances, this article argues that Freeport’s operation in West Papua has been central to shaping U.S. imperial policy in Southeast Asia. The company’s relationship with the U.S. government and its contract of work with the Indonesian government reproduce an older form of state-corporation partnership called a charter, which grants a corporate body privileges associated with exploration, trade, and colonization. Combining a historical study of the political role of corporations across time and an ethnographic study of Freeport’s operation, this article rethinks the anthropological and historical study of transnational corporations and their roles in the contemporary politics of colonialism.
