Griffith Review: A New Commonwealth or the Empire Strikes Back?
Wednesday 6 June, Bush House, London, 6pm – 8.30pm

Join us as the panel discusses whether the Commonwealth is poised to play a major role as a values-based network representing a third of the world’s population, or whether it will be swept aside given the changes triggered by recent geopolitical uncertainty?
