Summary |
Origins
Brioni Declaration of 19 July 1956 , initiated by Gamal Abdel Nasser , Josip Broz Tito , Norodom Sihanouk and Jawaharlal Nehru marks the origin of the movement, which seeks to protect itself from the influence of the United States and the USSR that sought to rally the world to their cause (the idea of bipolarity, the two major governing the world).
The term "non-alignment" was coined by Indian Prime Minister Nehru in a speech in 1954 in Colombo. In this speech, Nehru described the five pillars to be used for Sino-Indian relations, which were first put forward by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. Called Panchsheel (the "five principles"), these principles will be used later as the basis for the Non-Aligned Movement.
We can consider that the Bandung Conference , held in 1955 in the city Indonesia in Bandung in the west of the island of Java , which brought together some thirty countries in Africa and Asia, is an important step towards Constitution of the Non-Aligned Movement.
Evolution
While the organization had originally intended to be as strong and united as the Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) or the Warsaw Pact , it was in fact little cohesion, and several its members were at one time or another closely related with great power. For example, Cuba was very close to the USSR during the Cold War. India has also brought closer to the USSR for several years to fight China. The movement also faces internal dissent when the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979. On one side the client states of the USSR approved the invasion, and another, some members (especially the Muslim majority states) the condemned.
Created in the context of the Cold War, the movement had to find a new life to her from following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In addition, the states of the breakup of Yugoslavia (one of the founding members) have shown little interest in the organization since the dissolution of the country. Finally in 2004, Malta and Cyprus were removed upon their entry into the European Union. Nevertheless, the organization continues to play an important role. For example, it refused to follow the proceedings of the Washington consensus , which includes the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and World Bank , whereas it would be detrimental to the interests of its members.
Far from weakening, the legacy of the Cold War era continues. New trends are inspired by the achievements of the struggles of decolonization. Thus, the political scientist Aziz Salmon Falls, in the wake of Ben Barka , with the Group for Research and Initiative for the Liberation of Africa (GRIL) advocates a revival of the Tricontinental Conference , a self-reliant development to ecosystem basis, and pleads for a polycentric world .
