| Summary/Abstract |
The UK Coalition government, coming to power in May 2010, has already shown a more positive and purposeful approach to the Commonwealth than any of its predecessors. There is every reason for optimism that this will be maintained. This article gives an outline of the work and special character of the Commonwealth and looks forward to the report of the Eminent Persons' Group, the Perth Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's forthcoming Diamond Jubilee.

| Summary/Abstract |
Britain's international involvement has not been diminished by the loss of Empire; but it has altered drastically, in response both to reduced circumstances and to fundamental changes in world conditions. The transition has been made less difficult by the moderation and good sense of Commonwealth partners. It cannot be said to be complete until Britain has found a more satisfactory basis for a productive role within the enlarged EU, an indispensable element in the management of global interdependence. Among the arguments advanced in this article is that Britain's international involvement is not a matter of external policies and priorities alone. It is a function of the soundness of its economy and the strength of its national cohesion.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that, as the modern Commonwealth celebrates its 60th anniversary, the time has come for Ireland-which left the organisation in April 1949 baulking at the prospect of 'allegiance' to the British Crown-to return to the fold, now that Republican constitutions are common among Commonwealth members and new entrants, without historic links with Britain and the Crown, have been welcomed in.
