Empire and Legal Thought
Emphatic of the importance of legal thought to the rise and fall of empires, this book highlights the centrality of empires to the development of legal thought. Comprehension of the development of legal thought over time is necessary for any historical, philosophical, practical, or theoretical enquiry into the subject today, it is argued here. When seen against the background of broad geopolitical, diplomatic, administrative, intellectual, religi…
‘The Unbridgeable Gulf’
Crown, Conquest, Concession, and Corporation
This chapter is concerned with the region of Zambezia that would become Southern Rhodesia. In the course of that transformation, a variety of different legal personalities laid claims to this region of Africa, among them, corporations and concession hunters. Analogy gifted Europeans with a method of rationalising their intrusive and, eventually, conquering conduct, in view of a community that was perceived to be defective in the substance of sove…
Communications
Communications Edward Cavanagh and Allan Greer To the Editor: I refer to Allan Greer's "Settler Colonialism and Empire in Early America" in the William and Mary Quarterly (vol. 76, no. 3, pp. 383–90). Greer engages with a research article of mine, "Possession and Dispossession in Corporate New France, 1600–1663: Debunking a 'Juridical History' and Revisiting Terra Nullius."1 Its "results," he says, are "lamentable." I am, he claims, "emboldened b…
The Imperial Constitution of the Law Officers of the Crown
The rule of conquest came to receive different applications for different parts of the British Empire. How this happened, and who was responsible for it happening, are the interests of this article. Calling upon court reports, parliamentary records, and correspondence between various officeholders in the early Hanoverian government, attention will be drawn in particular to the attorney general and the solicitor general (the law officers of the cr…
Infidels in English Legal Thought
English common law reports are dense with ideas. Yet they remain mostly untapped by intellectual historians. This article reveals how intellectual history can engage with law and jurisprudence by following the notion that “infidels” (specifically non-Christian individuals) deserved to receive exceptional treatment within England and across the globe. The starting point is Sir Edward Coke: he suggested that infidels could be conquered and constitu…
The Atlantic Prehistory of Private International Law
This article concerns itself with the kind of legal conflicts that broke out in the Atlantic New World between merchant interests from different parts of Europe. Case studies are made of two disputes: one between Samuel Argall of the Virginia Company and a factor on behalf of Antoinette de Pons at the Île des Monts-Déserts, and the other between the Compagnie de Caën and the Kirke brothers at the Saint Lawrence River. Together, these case studies…
The Routledge Handbook of the History of Settler Colonialism
Corporations and Business Associations from the Commercial Revolution to the Age of Discovery
Corporations changed the face of Christendom and then proceeded to change the face of the world. This article, focusing principally upon the late medieval period, will explore the extent to which the early modern expansion of European people and ideas during the ‘age of discovery’ occurred as a result of the development of human associationism. Corporations, associations, syndicates, guilds and companies laid many of the institutional platforms o…
Prescription and Empire From Justinian to Grotius
Europeans have long justified a right to something or other by invoking ‘prescription’ (that is, the creation of a legal entitlement by the passage of time). Yet for all the importance of prescription in the creation of international geopolitical order, no genealogy of the idea has emerged from historical or legal scholarship. This article will explore the relationship between prescription and empire within private, public, corporate, and ecclesi…

Lest we Forget
Possession and Dispossession in Corporate New France, 1600–1663
Following Jacques Cartier's voyages up and down the St. Lawrence River in 1534, 1535–36 and 1541–42, French interest in the region surged. This interest was confined to the region's potential deposits of minerals, and then diverted realistically to the trade of furs, before ultimately, during the seventeenth century, it diversified to take into account the prospect of agricultural smallholding. So confined, this interest did not account for custo…

Settler Colonialism and Land Rights in South Africa
This local history of Griqua Philippolis (1824-1862) and Afrikaner Orania (1990-2013) gets at the crux of the ever-pertinent land question in South Africa. Identifying the many layers of dispossession definitive of the South African past, the book presents a provocative new argument about land rights and the residues of settler colonialism
The Oranian Land Regime and Its Challenges
Right from the volkstaat ’s conception, the brains behind Orania faced a dilemma. On the one hand, they wanted to create a community of private spaces for individuals and their families — a town which functioned much like any other. And on the other hand, in the context of a reforming South Africa, they wanted to restrict ownership conditions and provide enough power to themselves so that the town would be kept white and Afrikaner at all costs. T…
The Erasure of Past Interests in Land at Orania
Orania is not far from Philippolis, on the Cape side of the Orange River. Today Afrikaners occupy the town of Orania and its surroundings, but it hasn’t always been this way. Indeed, several claims to this area have developed over the course of South African history, from colonial annexation to the present-day period of Afrikaner ownership. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords …

A Company with Sovereignty and Subjects of Its Own? The Case of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1670–1763
Questions about the ways in which colonial subjects were acquired and maintained, and how it was that multiple and often contradictory sovereignties came to overlap in history, may not be purely academic. We raise them today because they spring from issues that remain unresolved, concerning rights to land, resources, and self-determination. Following recent scholarship on the English East India Company, the author redefines the Hudson's Bay Compa…
