So with the end of the Cold War in 1991...
umm actually Putler is doing soviet imperialist Nazism to restore the USSR try reading the Kyiv Independent some time you might learn something ??
... How relevant is it today?
On paper the Non-Aligned Movement is quite impressive. It's the second largest group of states in the world after the UN and represents more than half the world's population.
... And yet in recent years some have come to question its relevance.
Criticism of Western policies in the Global South has become a core theme of discussion across many states
... and many have come to see the movement as gaining relevance again and being a forum for discussing how many of the world's biggest issues are to be discussed.
So time will tell if the Non-Aligned Movement will find its purpose in the 21st Century.
will these backwards thinking childlike peoples embrace modernity? Or will they continue to criticize their Betters? Only time will tell...
Now that there isn't a USSR, you can't have a "non-aligned" movement. There is only one geopolitical faction, which is the Imperial core and their lapdogs. You're either with the West or against it. By removing the obvious alternative, the USA created a context where all of the imperial periphery is realising that they have one common enemy.
i mean NAM did fall off after 1991 with all the global South countries being compelled (or forced) to work with the West. Egypt is now U.S. Puppet state, India has turned fascist, Yugoslavia broke apart, Indonesia is doing better than others in some ways but is heavily exploited by the west, Ghana has a US military base.
Also despite being 'non-aligned' most countries in the NAM were closer to the USSR than the U.S. (Egypt, India, Indonesia) because of USSR's anti-imperialist stance, state-lead development etc.
