Description
This comprehensive review of Commonwealth studies complied by the Commission on Commonwealth Studies provides an opportunity for Commonwealth countries to learn from the experience of others in many fields. Member countries face similar challenges in public policy and institutional reform which – if studied – will have great practical and academic value for the next century. These challenges occur in such fields as economic liberalisation, democratisation and constitutional design, public administration, civil service reform, the provision and funding of health care and social security, taxation, education, population movements and heritage conservation.
