O shvatanju nesvrstanosti u jugoslovenskoj teoretizaciji međunarodnih odnosa
ON UNDERSTANDING THE NON-ALIGNMENT IN YUGOSLAV THEORISATION OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The paper contributes to the historiography of domestic science of International Relations, looked through its processing of the nonalignment in the socialist Yugoslavia period. The author has analysed the relevant academic literature that dealt with the nonalignment as a concept, a movement and an interplay of social relations. At first, the paper presents a short sketch of decelopment of the science of International Relation within Yugoslav social sciences, and then the development of the part of the IR science that had nonalignment as its object. The author has showed the strong threads of marxist approach to the International Relations in the analyses of the nonaligned movement and its genesis, but also a flexibility and eclecticism in the analyses of various related topics. Also shown is the wide focus of such a science on the analysis of the role of internal factors in defining the foreign policy, of the analysis of the importance given to the historical experience and subjectivity in action, which are characteristics of more contemporary theories such as constructivism and liberalism. In that sense, the author concludes that the theoretical production from that era should be evaluated in more detail, in light of the actual state of play in the science of International Relations.
