Of War and PeaceStubbs, Paul (Avtor) Socialist YugoslaviaNon-Aligned MovementpeacedisarmamentLiberation MovementsThis article, based on archival sources and secondary literature, explores the role of socialist Yugoslavia in the context of its leadership of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and its contributions to peace and conflict resolution at diverse scales. It explores this, primarily, in relation to the Cold War, as well as NAM’s response to major geopolitical conflicts, notably the Vietnam War and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The dynamics of Yugoslav and NAM support for decolonial liberation struggles, as a form of support for “just wars”, is also discussed. The significance of NAM’s role in advocating “general and complete disarmament” and the important role that Yugoslavia played in the Helsinki process in the mid- to late-1970s, seeking security and co-operation in Europe, are also addressed. The argument is that, whilst socialist Yugoslavia no longer exists, and NAM is not the force it once was; the principles of NAM remain as relevant as ever.20252026-03-13 08:52:28Delo ni kategorizirano28294sl
