Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of globalization is already underway. The challenge is how to make it work fairly and effectively. Current structures, like the World Trade Organization (WTO), place the advantage with more powerful nations and trading blocs, who can move the agenda as they see fit. The choices for small to medium powers is to enter into agreements with more powerful states - who us their leverage to exact major concessions - or to formally enter trading blocs that require political integration as the price for market access. For nations unhappy with the status quo, as well as the choices available to them, a new alternative is needed. The gradual creation of a Commonwealth Free Trade Association will allow nations the opportunity to fully engage in the world economy without sacrificing national sovereignty. It will also serve as an informal means of connecting regional trading blocs such as the European Union, NAFTA, and CARICOM into a global network that reaches every continent, every major culture, and every stage of development. In this book, Brent Cameron explores the history of Commonwealth trade, the current challenges to Commonwealth countries in the global economy, and, by illustrating past and current cooperative efforts, argues for a more formal and focused strategy. Anyone concerned about the direction of globalization, the challenge of the developing world, or the future prospects of developed nations in the world economy will find The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade a timely and thoughtful text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, 'The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade' put forward a bold argument for establishing formal trade and investment ties among Commonwealth member states - one where Britain may choose to leave the European Union, and join with senior Commonwealth members to form an initial trading network. Fourteen years on, with Britain's negotiations to formally leave the EU, and the increasing interest in the 'CANZUK' movement, this 14th Anniversary Edition revisits the 'Case' and broadens the discussion on a 'new globalization' - one that emphasizes the strength of the existing Commonwealth network, its enormous potential, and the importance of reciprocity in trading partnerships. Anyone concerned about the direction of globalization, the challenge of the developing world, or the future prospects of developed nations in the world economy will find this new edition of 'The Case for Commonwealth Free Trade' equally timely and thoughtful as the original.

Download or read book Trading on Commonwealth Ties written by Chris Milner and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the characteristics of current intraCommonwealth trade, and how can it be encouraged to grow?Trading on Commonwealth Ties identifies opportunities for stimulating trade within the Commonwealth, but warns against setting up a free trade agreement across the member states. Chris Milner argues that while the idea of trying to build a Commonwealth free trade agreement may hold enormous appeal, it is fraught with legal, administrative and political difficulties. He identifies improving trade infrastructure - particularly roads, railways and port facilities - as a key means of lowering trading costs and boosting trade both within the Commonwealth and with nonCommonwealth countries.IntraCommonwealth trade currently generates about US$225 billion a year in export trade for member countries, which is equivalent to about 16 per cent of Commonwealth countries' total exports. This is a substantial volume of trading activity, but overall the bulk of Commonwealth countries' trade is with countries outside the Commonwealth. Nonetheless, for some countries, like Botswana, Namibia, Papua New Guinea and Samoa, intraCommonwealth trade remains significant as it represents in excess of 70 per cent of their international trade.This book will be of interest to economic planners, researchers and policymakers in all Commonwealth countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise of Free Trade Imperialism seeks to uncover some of the intellectual origins of the imperialism of the classic period, the sources from which later theories of imperialism were constructed, and the character of the ideology which underlay the dismantling of the old colonial system and the construction of the Victorian Pax Britannica. The author discusses the development and diffusion of a number of the central arguments of the 'science' of political economy, from the standpoint of a historian rather than an economist, which were crucial not only to the construction of theories of capitalist imperialism, but also served as a spur both to efforts at colonization, and to establishing a British Workshop of the World.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Dafoe Book Prize Winner of the University of British Columbia Medal for Canadian Biography 1995 marked the 100th anniversary of that most charismatic and enigmatic public figure, the thirteenth prime minister of Canada, John George Diefenbaker. Beloved and reviled with equal passion, he was a politician possessed of a flamboyant, self-fabulizing nature that is the essential ingredient of spellbinding biography. After several runs at political office, Diefenbaker finally reached the Commons in 1940; sixteen years later he was leader of the Progressive Conservative Party. In 1958, after a campaign that dazzled the voters, the Tories won the largest majority in the nation’s history: the Liberal party was shattered, its leader, Lester Pearson, humiliated by an electorate that had chosen to “follow John.” Diefenbaker’s victory promised a long and sunny Conservative era. It was not to be: instead Dief gave the country a decade of continuous convulsion, marked by his government’s defeat in 1963 and his own forced departure from the leadership in 1967, a very public drama that divided his party and riveted the nation. When Diefenbaker died in 1979, he was given a state funeral modeled - at his own direction - on those of Churchill and Kennedy. It culminated in a transcontinental train journey and burial on the bluffs overlooking Saskatoon, alongside the archive that houses his papers - the only presidential-style library built for a Canadian prime minister. Canadians embraced the image of Dief as a morally triumphant underdog, even as they were repelled by his outrageous excesses. He revived a moribund party and gave the country a fresh sense of purpose but he was no match for the dilemmas of the Cold War of Quebec nationalism, or the subtleties of the country’s relations with the United States. This compelling biography, illuminating both legend and man and the nation he helped shape, was among the most highly praised books of the year.
Download or read book Commonwealth History in the Twenty First Century written by Saul Dubow and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-05 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection draws together new historical writing on the Commonwealth. It features the work of younger scholars, as well as established academics, and highlights themes such as law and sovereignty, republicanism and the monarchy, French engagement with the Commonwealth, the anti-apartheid struggle, race and immigration, memory and commemoration, and banking. The volume focusses less on the Commonwealth as an institution than on the relevance and meaning of the Commonwealth to its member countries and peoples. By adopting oblique, de-centred, approaches to Commonwealth history, unusual or overlooked connections are brought to the fore while old problems are looked at from fresh vantage points – be this turning points like the relationship between ‘old’ and `new’ Commonwealth members from 1949, or the distinctive roles of major figures like Jawaharlal Nehru or Jan Smuts. The volume thereby aims to refresh interest in Commonwealth history as a field of comparative international history.

This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commonwealth is working for the UK however if the organisation is to reach its potential and influence events, the Commonwealth Secretariat needs to "sharpen, strengthen and promote its diplomatic performance". Recently the Commonwealth has appeared less active and less publicly visible. The Government does not appear to have a clear and co-ordinated strategy for its relations with the Commonwealth. The moral authority of the Commonwealth has "too often been undermined by the repressive actions of member governments". The Committee is "disturbed to note the ineffectiveness of the mechanisms for upholding the Commonwealth's values", and expresses support for the Eminent Persons Group's proposal for a Commonwealth Charter. The Committee also says that it is not convinced that member states are making the most of the economic and trading opportunities offered by the Commonwealth. The report welcomes the fact that the Commonwealth continues to attract interest from potential new members, and the report says that there are advantages in greater diversity and an extended global reach for the Commonwealth however the application process should be rigorous. There is also concern at the continuing evidence of serious human rights abuses in Sri Lanka and the Committee urges the Prime Minister to state publicly his unwillingness to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Colombo meeting unless he receives "convincing and independently-verified evidence of substantial and sustainable improvements in human and political rights in Sri Lanka."
