How was the East India Company as a ‘corporation’ interacting with an Indian Nawab? How did the shogunate negotiate ‘sovereignty’ in early modern Japan? This volume addresses such questions through thoroughly researched historical case studies, covering the disciplines of History, Political Sciences, and Law.
