In: Međunarodni problemi: International problems, Band 73, Heft 4, S. 689-707

Abstract

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is in search of a new identity after the
dissolution of the bipolar world and the completion of the decolonization
process. In that sense, the NAM is often perceived as a balance between
great powers, particularly the US and China. Therefore, the author will
investigate this possibility. However, the focus of this article will be on
the analysis of the administrative structure of the NAM and the possibility
of transforming it into a more coherent organization. Furthermore, the
analysis of the most prominent topics in the area of international law and
reform of the United Nations, mainly contained within the final documents of
the NAM summits, will also be conducted.
