The A to Z of the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World
During the long period when the world was divided between East and West and the Cold War threatened to turn hot with devastating consequences, the Non-Aligned Movement was one of the few institutions that consistently sought other outcomes not in its own interest, but that of all humanity. Consisting of over 100 states that are free of any formal alliances with any major power bloc, the Non-Aligned Movement provides aid to those countries striving to gain independence, eliminate poverty, and develop their economy. Just what the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World sought—and at times achieved—is set forth in this unique reference work, with its over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, organizations, and conferences, as well as the key issues and concepts. Entries are supported by an extensive chronology, an introduction to the movement, and a bibliography for further research.
The Non-aligned, the UN, and the Superpowers
Based on his experience as a diplomat and as political advisor to the U.S. mission to the United Nations, Jackson traces the history and development of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and shows it to be a Third World interest group with a fundamental impact on the structure and agenda of the United Nations. As such he views its mistrust of the West as stemming from an anti-colonial bias rather than from an inherent disposition to either East or West. He argues that the survival of the NAM in its present anti-Western mode can only be viewed as a failure of U.S. policy over the last two decades. He believes that U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations would increase global instability and supports ending direct attacks on the NAM. ISBN 0-03-062561-0 (pbk.) : $29.95.
