What is the future of the Commonwealth, as an idea and organisation for effective collaboration in today’s troubled world?  Should it be still headed by the British monarch, or should it have a revolving headship? In conversation with the Vice Chancellor of the University of London, Professor Wendy Thomson, the eminent economist and Member of the House of Lords, Lord Desai will reflect on the relevance of the Commonwealth in an age of single issue identity politics, and how it can continue to evolve.

Speakers:

• Professor Wendy Thomson (Vice Chancellor, University of London)
• Lord Desai (Member, the House of Lords, and Emeritus Professor of Economics, London School of Economics)
