NONALIGNED MOVEMENT

organized movement of nations that attempted to form a third world force through a policy of nonalignment with the United States and Soviet Union. Yugoslavia, India, and Indonesia were instrumental in founding (1961) the movement, which grew out of the Bandung Conference (1955). Its members, mainly from Asia, Africa, and Latin America and representing more than half the world's people, include true neutrals and many nations that were in fact aligned with one of the superpowers during the cold war. The nations meet regularly to discuss their common interests. By the late 1990s the Nonaligned Movement had 113 members (although Yugoslavia had been suspended). In light of the cold war's end, it has reassessed its role and sought to redefine its identity. See also Third World.
