    If the Commonwealth were to expand its remit, led by India, areas such as security and counter-terrorism could be strengthened. India’s approach to the regional groupings of which it is a member is self-evidently instrumentalist. With limited resources each of the organisations or groups which India promotes serve a particular economic, political or cultural purpose. Thus, IBSA (comprising India, Brazil and South Africa) comprises a group of like-minded, Southern democracies, useful to align approaches in fora such as the UN. [...]

          Can the Commonwealth help Brexit-hit Britain?

          2020-03-05T06:39:22+00:00March 21st, 2018|2017/2018, Commonwealth, Home Page, UK Edition- April 2018, Year|

          A leading anti-Brexit voice within the UK political establishment calls for a democratic exit from Brexit to firm up closer ties with the Commonwealth.

The most effective way to exercise global influence is to remain a member of the largest, [...]
