On April 28, 2023, a live discussion took place within the context of the New South Institute (NSI) Reading Club, focusing on the book “Socialist Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement: Political, Social, Cultural and Economic Imaginaries,” edited by Paul Stubbs and published by McGill-Queen’s University Press. The event was moderated by NSI’s co-founder and director, Jelena Vidojević, and featured a comprehensive presentation by Stubbs, who interacted with attendees, including NSI’s Distinguished Fellow Radmila Nakarada. The conversation explored themes such as global socialisms, alternative world-building, and cultural exchanges, while addressing the complex historical and contemporary relevance of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). Participants also examined the movement’s impact on post-Yugoslav space, its role after the Cold War, and its potential influence on present-day conflicts and initiatives like the Russia-Ukraine crisis, BRICS, and China’s Belt Road Initiative.
