The Anthropology Department, co-sponsored with the Balkan Studies Collective and the History Department, welcomes Anna Calori to deliver her lecture, “The Power of Alternatives: Collective Self-Reliance, Non-Alignment, and the Yugoslav Approach to South-South Cooperation.”
Prominent scholars identify development unevenness between the global North and South as one of the major shortcomings of the global liberal order, bringing debates about viable alternatives to current global inequalities back into the political mainstream.
This lecture traces the history of constructing alternatives to established economic orders, by focusing on the role that Yugoslavia played in the non-aligned movement within the bipolar context of the Cold War. It will also illustrate how the initial ideas for building collective self-reliance and economic de-colonization shaped a more complex agenda: countering North-South development imbalances through the establishment of the New International Economic Order and South-South cooperation.
Anna Calori is a lecturer in contemporary economic history for the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow, Scotland.
