Commonwealth Advisory Bureau
The Commonwealth Advisory Bureau (formerly CPSU) is the independent think-tank and advisory service for the modern Commonwealth of fifty-four nations and nearly two billion citizens. They specialise in issues of Commonwealth policy including globalisation, democracy, civil society and human rights.
Based at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, CA/B runs projects in numerous countries across the Commonwealth. They produce quality research-based reports and briefings to inform and influence policy makers in over a quarter of the world’s countries. CA/B seeks to put the policy choices before the Commonwealth into sharper focus, exploring options and suggesting new directions. CA/B projects are changing the way people think on issues such as making elections fairer, recognising the needs of indigenous peoples and assisting development in small island states. They are committed to continuing our work to inform and improve policy and decision making across the Commonwealth.
They also offer confidential and impartial advice to countries interested in applying to join the Commonwealth, and can help existing member countries make the most of Commonwealth membership for maximum impact at home and abroad.
