YUGOSLAVIA AND THE POLICY OF NON-ALIGNMENT IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 1960S

Based on material from the Archives of Yugoslavia (Belgrade, Serbia) as well as a number of international documents and analytical papers published in English on the Internet, the artic- le attempts to analyse the development of the policy of non-alignment in the second half of the 1960s, the role Yugoslavia and personally President Josip Broz Tito played in it, and the ways to extricate the Non-Aligned Movement from crisis. The initiatives to hold an interna- tional summit dedicated to cooperation between the countries of Asia, Africa, and some other regions of the world and the reasons for the success of the Yugoslav-Indian concept of non-alignment are explored in broad international context. Consideration is given to the prepa- ration of the Lusaka conference; the range of issues under discussion; the structure of the permanent institutions of the Non-Aligned Movement that emerged at the summit; the impact of decisions made on the further development of the Non-Aligned Movement in the 1970s.
