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 internationalhistory. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aImperialism 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aWorld history 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aModern History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aLegal History 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aLegal History. 676 $a909.0971241 676 $a900 702 $aDubow$b Saul$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aDrayton$b Richard$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416094203321 996 $aCommonwealth History in the Twenty-First Century$91914826 997 $aUNINA
