Commonwealth Studies

Commonwealth Studies is an academic field that focuses on the history, politics, culture, and economics of the Commonwealth of Nations, a political association of 56 member countries, most of which were formerly part of the British Empire. It explores issues such as governance, development, human rights, and shared values among these diverse nations. The field promotes understanding of the Commonwealth's role in global affairs and encourages collaboration and dialogue among its members. Students and researchers study its impact on national identities, international relations, and the legacies of colonialism.
