The Empire's New Clothes

Thinking about the Commonwealth in the era of Brexit

Philip Murphy offered a personal perspective on the Commonwealth, a complex and poorly understood institution, and asked if it can ever escape from the shadow of the British Empire to become an organisation based on shared values, rather than a shared history.

Event recorded on 17 January 2019.
