Predavanje i razgovor Bilješke o socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji, nesvrstanosti i palestinskoj borbi vodi Paul Stubbs.
Čak i prije nego što je postala jedna od osnivačica Pokreta nesvrstanih (NAM), vanjska politika socijalističke Jugoslavije bila je obilježena konkretnom podrškom dekolonizacijskim oslobodilačkim pokretima. Značajna podrška alžirskoj borbi za oslobođenje bila je ključna za izgradnju njezina ugleda među progresivnim snagama Globalnog Juga. Do 1970-ih godina, fokus Jugoslavije i NAM-a preusmjerio se prema oslobodilačkim pokretima u portugalskim kolonijama, borbi protiv apartheida i borbama palestinskog naroda. Ovaj kratki uvod prati promjenjive oblike podrške Palestincima kroz vrijeme, u kontekstu nekih kontradikcija uloge Jugoslavije u okviru Pokreta nesvrstanih.
Paul Stubbs je umirovljeni viši znanstveni suradnik Ekonomskog instituta u Zagrebu. Njegov se nedavni rad fokusira na socijalističku Jugoslaviju, Pokret nesvrstanih i Novi međunarodni ekonomski poredak.
The Initiative for the Academy of Solidarity and Epistemic Justice invites you to the first in a series of teach-ins as part of the project Conference on Palestine. The teach-in will take place on May 9th, from 6 to 8 PM at the Multimedia Institute, Preradovićeva 18. The teach-in is also being held as part of the pre-program of the 18th edition of the Subversive Festival and in collaboration with the Transnational Solidarities series.
Paul Stubbs will lead the teach-in Notes on Socialist Yugoslavia, Non-Alignment, and the Palestinian Struggle.
Even before becoming a founding member of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), socialist Yugoslavia’s foreign policy was marked by tangible support to decolonial liberation movements. Indeed, significant support to the Algerian liberation struggle was central to building its reputation amongst progressive forces in the Global South. By the 1970s, Yugoslavia and NAM’s focus had shifted to the liberation movements in the Portuguese colonies, the struggle against apartheid, and the struggles of the Palestinian people. This short introduction traces the shifting contours of support for the Palestinians over time in the context of some of the contradictions of Yugoslavia’s role in NAM.
Paul Stubbs is Emeritus Senior Researcher in the Institute of Economics, Zagreb. His recent work has focused on Socialist Yugoslavia, the Non-Aligned Movement and the New International Economic Order.
