The Non-Aligned Movement not only offered an alternative to the Cold War polarization between the two hegemonic power blocs but also expressed the hopes of a world emerging from colonial domination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialist Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement investigates the Non-Aligned Movement both as a top-down, inter-state initiative and as a site for transnational exchange in science, art and culture, architecture, education, and industry. Through a multi-disciplinary approach, the book seeks to reveal, rather than ride roughshod over, the contradictory role of socialist Yugoslavia in the decolonial struggles of the Global South. Chapters address topics such as women\u2019s involvement, anti-fascism 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\u2019s non-aligned commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialist Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement offers an innovative approach to one of the twentieth century\u2019s most important international movements and confronts issues of economic, social, and cultural rights that remain relevant today. This Book Panel Roundtable uses the book as a starting point for an exploration of the legacies of the Non-Aligned Movement and the role of socialist Yugoslavia in global order, discussing priorities for multi-disciplinary research in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Panellists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paul Stubbs<\/strong>&nbsp;is a sociologist and currently a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of Economics, Zagreb, Croatia, the editor of the book and author of the Introductory chapter.
