A Study On The Development Of The Commonwealth Of Nations Since World War ?-The Construction Of Transnational Social Cultural Community

After the end of World War II,the United Kingdom revised its foreign policy.Winston Churchill raised the idea of Three Circle Diplomacy strategy,in which the Commonwealth was the most important part.It was important for the United Kingdom to strengthen the relations with the other member countries of the Commonwealth.In 1960 s the United Kingdom showed a great interest in joining the European Community and paid more attention to the relations with European countries.The UK's attention to the Commonwealth was still maintained but went down a lot.After the Labor Party came into power in 1997,the United Kingdom had a renewed emphasis on the development of Commonwealth.Now the Commonwealth is a loose international organization,but with the core goal to build a social-cultural community,this organization has an inner quality of solidarity and the desire to be a big family in spirit.The Commonwealth is organized better than before by using the institutional heritage and social-cultural heritage of the British Empire and the prestige of the Royal family,and making use of the role of the official agencies,semiofficial agencies and the NGOs,which work together and cooperate closely to promote the development of the Commonwealth.With the unique historical resources and the British pragmatic spirit,the Commonwealth now is becoming a social-cultural community and a global soft power network of the United Kingdom in the 21 st Century.Due to some practical reasons the Commonwealth still faces many challenges today,but the ambition of the Commonwealth to be a social-cultural community is a good case for us to research the development of transnational relations around the world.
