| Summary/Abstract |
At a time when the Commonwealth of Nations and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) are investigating their long-term relevance and identity in the face of current international challenges, relatively little attention has been paid to the small yet growing number of countries that are now joint members of the two organisations. This group has increased in recent years and 11 countries now have a link with both organisations. As programmes are being implemented in the same polities and as the reflection on global governance progresses, there is a growing need for more comparative studies of Francophonie and Commonwealth commitments that take into account the institutional history of these organisations. In this context, this article investigates the challenges and opportunities created by Commonwealth-OIF programmes in the fields of democracy, human rights and development, in their drive for good governance and new forms of multilateralism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Kenya sent troops into Somalia in what has been seen as an attempt to carve out a sphere of influence in the war-torn country. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram killed more than 100 people in Nigeria. Attempts to reform the Commonwealth largely failed after the Chogm summit in Perth rejected proposals of the Eminent Persons Group. Despite calls at Chogm to decriminalise homosexuality in Commonwealth countries, two Malaysian states are set to increase penalties. As Australia was named as host of the 2018 Commonwealth Games, it emerged that 30 foreign contractors are still owed $80m for the recent Delhi games, which were marred by corruption. Hopes of campaigners that Uganda was finally acting on corruption were dashed. Michael Sata, a former cleaner at a London train station, became president of Zambia. The African National Congress suspended Julius Malema, firebrand leader of its Youth League and seen as a future president of South Africa, for five years.

| Summary/Abstract |
In at least 11 member states of the Modern Commonwealth, a citizen of another Commonwealth country may not enter without a visa, but may vote, and sometimes stand for office. This paper presents analyses and contextualises newly compiled data on the rights of Commonwealth citizens to stand for office, to vote, to enter without a visa and to undertake employment without a work permit in Commonwealth countries other than their own. It demonstrates how this affects the internal democratic rights of domestic jurisdictions of member states, as well as citizenship rights in other multi-state groupings. Developing a better understanding of this can form part of the wider project of producing a rounder picture of the nature of the Commonwealth and its internal citizenship rights.

| Summary/Abstract |
The name of Garfield Todd, Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia, became known outside the country in 1958 when his cabinet successfully rebelled against him. Inside the country, the wonder was that he became prime minister in the first place. Historians have concentrated on Garfield Todd's sudden emergence as an MP in 1946, and his meteoric rise and fall, rather than on his background as a missionary and teacher. If failure in the political arena was his destiny, then his legacy is massive success as a missionary and the shaper of the lives and careers of so many young men and women who went on to dominate the leadership of several aspects of African life after 1980. The authors believe that the tenth anniversary of Garfield's death in 2002 is a good time to consider the Dadaya years and their impact on the man, and this article makes that assessment.

| Summary/Abstract |
Pakistan has been in the forefront of foreign policy debate for decades, at times condemned as a failing or failed state, also as a 'terrorist' state. As the country faces continuing pressure from the fallout of the war in Afghanistan as well as deepening internal strife, this article gives an overview of Pakistan's problems, highlighting growing anti-Western sentiment and emphasising the importance of institutional stability, as well as a resolution of 'the Kashmir issue'.
