Događanja CKPIS-a – Agustín Cosovschi: Jugoslavija, Latinska Amerika i Pokret nesvrstanih

Posljednji predavač u Zimskom semestru CKPIS-a bit će Agustín Cosovschi, poslijedoktorand na projektu Dissinvent i gostujući predavač na Katoličkom sveučilištu u Lilleu i Sveučilištu u Parizu, koji se bavi političkom i intelektualnom poviješću Hladnog rata i jugoistočne Europe. Govorit će o jugoslavenskim nastojanjima za uspostavom tješnjih odnosa s latinoameričkim zemljama, posebno Čileom, i tamošnjim lijevo orijentiranim organizacijama tijekom 1950-ih i 1960-ih. Politika nesvrstanosti Jugoslaviji je u tome bila i pomoć i smetnja. Predavanje će biti održano na engleskom jeziku u virtualnoj dvorani.

Agustín Cosovschi
From Santiago to Mexico: The Yugoslav Enterprise in Latin America During the Early Cold War and the Limits of Non Alignment

The lecture will be based on my latest research, which focuses on Yugoslavia’s endeavors to create stronger connections with Latin American governments and left-wing organizations in the early Cold War. I will describe Yugoslavia’s efforts in the region and particularly focus on the case of Chile, where connections with the Socialist Party allowed the Yugoslavs to jump into the continent in the mid-1950s. My central claim will be that during those years Belgrade pursued a systematic policy that made it that by the early 1960s the Yugoslavs had become a serious factor in the region, but that generally speaking the policy of non-alignment proved to be a double-edged sword: it allowed for the Yugoslavs to garner prestige and visibility in Latin America, but it also started to impose limitations to their influence in the early 1960s.

Agustín Cosovschi holds a PhD from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (France) and the University of San Martín (Argentina). His research deals with the political and intellectual history of the Cold War, primarily in South East Europe. He is currently based in Paris and works as a postdoctoral research assistant at the project Dissinvent (University Paris Nanterre – University of Paris) and as a visiting lecturer at the Catholic University of Lille and the University of Paris.
