retical benefits resulting from this process, this article argues that political scientists should themselves be willing to become colonizers, not just collaborators, and that they should extend their territory to include what are conventionally regarded as economic institutions. It does so by showing how political analysis contributes to our understanding of the activity of such a preeminently economic institution as the modern large corporation. In the end what emerges from this essay is further evidence of the artificiality of disciplinary boundaries in the social sciences and the infirmity of any territorial claims. In arguing that the large corporation should be viewed as a political institution, the essay, then, is a conceptual rather than empirical endeavor, though it concludes by showing how empirical verification is possible.
