Yugoslav commercial diplomacy in developing countries between state's (economic) interests and (ideological) solidarityUdovič, Boštjan (Avtor) commercial diplomacypolitics of prestigenon-aligned movementdeveloping countriesYugoslav diplomacyeconomic diplomacyLjubljana CongressceremonialprestigemusictheatreThe article deals with the functioning of Yugoslav commercial diplomacy towards the developing countries that were members of the Non-Aligned Movement. With the help of literature, archival sources, and eyewitness accounts, three findings are presented. Firstly, ideology hardly played a role in Yugoslavia's economic relations with the less developed countries. Secondly, Yugoslav socialist realism towards the Non-Aligned countries was a combination of several parallel processes: altruism, egoism and political pragmatism, which meant that the Yugoslav authorities played several games on several levels to combine prestige politics and economic benefits.Zgodovinsko društvo dr.
