Britain and the Commonwealth
Author: H WISEMAN
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003853064
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
First published in 1965, Britain and the Commonwealth provides a comprehensive account of Britain’s role in the Commonwealth and of the Commonwealth's place in the modern world. The author gives sufficient historical background, deals thoroughly with the present, and on the basis of his analysis risks a forecast of the future. The institutions and systems of government of different members of the Commonwealth- very varied as they are today- are described in relation to the way in which the Commonwealth countries work together and re-act on each other. Professor Wiseman considers the essential criteria for membership, and he does not burke the difficult issues presented by varying degrees and definitions of democracy and the rule of law in different Commonwealth members. These are the problems presented by a grouping of nations in varying stages of development, with varying cultural, religious and political backgrounds- at once the challenge to the Commonwealth today and one of the main reasons for its importance. This is an important read for students of British Politics and British history.

The Role and Future of the Commonwealth
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Foreign Affairs Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215049933
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The Commonwealth is working for the UK however if the organisation is to reach its potential and influence events, the Commonwealth Secretariat needs to "sharpen, strengthen and promote its diplomatic performance". Recently the Commonwealth has appeared less active and less publicly visible. The Government does not appear to have a clear and co-ordinated strategy for its relations with the Commonwealth. The moral authority of the Commonwealth has "too often been undermined by the repressive actions of member governments". The Committee is "disturbed to note the ineffectiveness of the mechanisms for upholding the Commonwealth's values", and expresses support for the Eminent Persons Group's proposal for a Commonwealth Charter. The Committee also says that it is not convinced that member states are making the most of the economic and trading opportunities offered by the Commonwealth. The report welcomes the fact that the Commonwealth continues to attract interest from potential new members, and the report says that there are advantages in greater diversity and an extended global reach for the Commonwealth however the application process should be rigorous. There is also concern at the continuing evidence of serious human rights abuses in Sri Lanka and the Committee urges the Prime Minister to state publicly his unwillingness to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo meeting unless he receives "convincing and independently-verified evidence of substantial and sustainable improvements in human and political rights in Sri Lanka."
