'As a set of inter and non-state interregional networks, the Commonwealth has lots to contribute to and learn from ongoing debates about 'global governance'. This timely, original collection contributes to development issues while contextualising conflict, culture, religion, politics and the role of communities in the Commonwealth. With a new female Chair-in-Office and female Prime Minister as host of CHOGM 2011, the Commonwealth clearly has a blueprint in this book.'--Timothy M Shaw, Professor & Director, International Relations, The University of the West Indies, Trinidad & Tobago
