| Abstract | "Non-alignment is back with a vengeance. In recent years, the number of countries embracing this venerable approach to foreign policy has increased exponentially, making it a force to be reckoned with in world affairs. The war in Ukraine, the expansion of the BRICS group, and the conflict in Gaza have given a special impetus to its rise in a new form: Active Non-Alignment (ANA). This has gone hand-in-hand with the growing power and influence of the Global South in world politics. In this agenda-setting book, Jorge Heine, Carlos Fortin and Carlos Ominami explain the origins, dynamics and significance of ANA for the future of world order. They argue that, far from being a transitory expression of the current state of affairs, ANA is here to stay. It provides a powerful guide to action and a fine-tuned compass for the Global Majority--the countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America--to strike out and prioritize their national interests, while navigating the perilous waters of a troubled world in the throes of change."-- Back cover. |
