ABSTRACT

In February 1998, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, in conjunction with Wilton Park, an Executive Agency of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, held the fifth joint CPA/Wilton Park Annual Conference. The 65 participants-who were drawn from a number of countries throughout the Commonwealth, Europe and the United States-included Speakers and presiding officers, members of Parliament, academics, professionals from a range of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), along with public servants and parliamentary officials.
