Abstract

Ten years ago there was more talk and writing about non-alignment. The leaders of non-aligned states today seem less inclined than before to go public with common attitudes and to present themselves as such. Bandung in 1955 and Belgrade in 1961 were occasions when non-aligned states came together to discuss their place in contemporary affairs. Since then there have been no other meetings and there have been very few statements about his specific role. Was non-alignment just a passing fad, a temporary phase in the development of the new and recently independent states? Or on the contrary, as alliances, is it something so accepted in international politics and national orientation, that we must take it as a fact? After two decades we are at an opportune moment to look back and re-evaluate both the claims and the nature of the non-alignment, the degree of its reality and its possibilities of moving forward.
