Description
Exploring the often-overlooked yet significant role of the Commonwealth in global politics, this book examines the history, structure and future of the organization. Timothy M. Shaw delves into the central role played by the Commonwealth in advancing decolonization and supporting multiculturalism, democracy and human rights.
The Commonwealth's connections to various networks concerned with education, development, gender, health, islands, literature, media and sport are also scrutinized within the context of wider debates about 'global' governance and globalization. This insightful analysis sheds light on the Commonwealth's enduring impact on global affairs.
