Description

In the wake of Brexit, the Commonwealth has been identified as an important body for future British trade and diplomacy, but few know what it actually does.

How is it organised and what has held it together for so long?

How important is the monarch’s role as Head of the Commonwealth?

Most importantly, why has it had such a troubled recent past, and is it realistic to imagine that its fortunes might be reversed??In The Empire’s New Clothes,?

Murphy strips away the gilded self-image of the Commonwealth to reveal an irrelevant institution afflicted by imperial amnesia.

He offers a personal perspective on this complex and poorly understood institution, and asks if it can ever escape from the shadow of the British Empire to become an organisation based on shared values, rather than a shared history.
