| Summary/Abstract |
The Commonwealth is often ignored or neglected by current students of international relations, yet the suggestion is that it can play a big role in an increasingly uncertain and confused world. Its achievements are far greater than it is given credit for, especially in the areas of business, ethical norms, the environment, conflict resolution, education and other features of a globalized yet disintegrating world. Where the Commonwealth needs to improve is in the areas of continuity of diplomatic personnel and follow-up. It now has a chance after the Kampala 2007 CHOGM to restructure and refocus itself as a forum which has a greater South and Southeast Asian emphasis, in line with developments in global politics and economics
