Three Non-Aligned Summits — Harare 1986; Belgrade 1989 and Jakarta 1992

Abstract

The last three non-aligned summits before Cartagena (1995) cover a period in which non-aligned countries have had, like other political movements, to adapt their concerns to the post cold war era. It seems sensible therefore to consider all three. Harare in 1986, the eighth in the series of summits, which began in 1961, was the last one to be held before the cold war ended. The participants at Belgrade in 1989 were, by contrast, already beginning to discuss questions about the non-aligned movement in a changing world order, whilst Jakarta in 1992 was concerned with problems stemming from the end of the cold war as well as showing one way of achieving domestic economic growth. Indonesia gave up its leadership of the non-aligned late in 1995 when it handed over the chairmanship to Colombia at the eleventh summit which unusually, for reasons connected with the fiftieth anniversary of the UN, was held in October.KeywordsSecurity CouncilForeign MinisterSummit MeetingFiftieth AnniversaryForeign Policy IssueThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
