I recently wrote about the Bandung Conference, often seen as the birthplace of the Non-Aligned Movement. While many of the countries that participated in the conference supported the principle of Non-Alignment, it was not one of the principles discussed in Bandung’s final communique. One approach to teaching Non-Alignment is to focus on the development of Third Worldism as an alternative to the capitalist and communist visions for the world in the 1950s and 1960s.
