About CPSU
The Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit (CPSU) is the think-tank for the Commonwealth of fifty-four nations and nearly two billion citizens. We specialise on issues of Commonwealth policy including globalisation, democracy, civil society and human rights.
We produce quality research-based reports and briefings to inform and influence policy makers. Our work brings the policy choices before the Commonwealth into sharper focus, exploring options and suggesting new directions. CPSU is part of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London.
