Commonwealth of nations in the foreign policy doctrine “three majestic circles” by W. Churchill

Анотація

Today the Commonwealth is a free association of countries, although the sources of its creation were representatives of imperialism, and the concept in the circle of the British political elite in some types meant an empire, a progressive, democratic and humane form. The article argues that for several decades one of the main factors for improving the organization was the desire of British politicians to keep the splitting colonies in their own sphere of influence. And the countries-members of association belonged to one of the three most important and traditional circles of British political and economic interests formulated by Winston Churchill. Although the role and importance of the organization are decreasing, there are thoughts to reanimate this institution and its role in the politics of Britain.
