The Non-Aligned Movement offered alternatives not only to East-West conflicts in the context of the Cold War but, also, expressed the hopes of a world emerging from colonial domination of the South by the North. This presentation treats the Non-Aligned Movement as, both, a top-down, inter-state, initiative, on the one hand, and as allowing for the creation of relatively autonomous spaces for meaningful transnational exchanges in the realms of art and culture, architecture, science, education, and industry, on the other.
