Abstract

On December the 7th of 2003, the government of Zimbabwe declared its formal withdrawal from the Commonwealth. This essay tries to analyze this political event from the point of political science, holding the view that Zimbabwe's democratic political system lacks necessary independence; there was potential conflict between the economic structure and the democratic system. On the other hand, Zimbabwe has grown strong feeling of nationalism through its long experience of colony and there also existed political and cultural differences between African countries and the developed countries in the Commonwealth. These enable us to have a better understanding why Zimbabwe has taken such a strong stand in this event.
