After a summit in Belgrade in September 1961, socialist Yugoslavia,
led by President Josip Broz Tito until his death in 1980, initiated
a movement with states in the Global South. The Non-Aligned
Movement not only offered an alternative to the Cold War
polarization between NATO and the Warsaw Pact but also expressed
the hopes of a world emerging from colonial domination. Socialist
Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement investigates the
Non-Aligned Movement both as a top-down, interstate initiative and
as a site for transnational exchange in science, art and culture,
architecture, education, and industry. Re-invigorating older
debates by consulting newly available sources, the volume
challenges studies that marginalize the role of socialist
Yugoslavia in the Non-Aligned Movement. Contributors address topics
such as women's involvement, antifascism and anti-imperialism,
cultural and educational exchange, tensions in Yugoslav diplomacy,
competing understandings of economic development, the role of the
Yugoslav construction company Energoprojekt, Yugoslav relations
with Latin America and Africa, and contemporary support for
refugees and asylum seekers as a kind of practical and affective
afterlife of Yugoslavia's non-aligned commitments. Socialist
Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement offers an innovative
approach to one of the twentieth century's most important
international movements and confronts issues of economic, social,
and cultural rights that remain relevant today.
