Offizielle Kursbeschreibung:
This seminar will focus on the history and historiography of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in world politics. Starting with the first conference held in 1961, which saw representatives from African, Asian and Latin American states come together in Belgrade, it became an important forum for countries from the Global South. It grew throughout the twentieth century as newly independent states sought a collective voice on the international stage during the Cold War. Today it counts 120 member states an indication of the NAM’s continued relevance. The periodic NAM’s summit conferences were nodal points at which key twentieth-century developments converged and simultaneously influenced international politics. The Global Cold War, decolonisation, South-South cooperation, the North-South conflict, human rights, humanitarian interventions and climate change all featured and provide an opportunity to understand the history of international relations from a non-European perspective. Considering the impact of the NAM and analysing its politics serves as an important corrective to Eurocentric interpretations. It opens new perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of the twentieth century.
