Kajo Kubala

Kajo Kubala studies the role that corporations (broadly understood) have played in the history of political thought. His work investigates how corporate theory has shaped political thinking and contributed to the development of cardinal concepts within our political vocabulary, including the state, the social contract, the right of resistance, and representation.

Kajo’s doctoral dissertation charted a genealogy of the corporation that uncovered the moral casualties suffered by our political language due to the modern hegemony of the concession theory of the corporation, as well as the streamlining of the corporation itself into a private, for-profit, economic form of association.
