The paper contributes to the historiography of the domestic science of
International Relations, observed through its processing of the nonalignment
in the socialist Yugoslavia period. The author has analysed the relevant
academic literature that deals with the nonalignment as a concept, a movement
and an interplay of social relations. Initially, the paper presents a short
sketch of the development 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 shown the strong
threads of the Marxist approach to the International Relations in the
analyses of the nonaligned movement and its genesis, but also flexibility and
eclecticism in the analyses of various related topics. The author has also
displayed a wide focus of such a science on the analysis of the role of
internal factors in defining the foreign policy and of the importance given
to the historical experience and subjectivity in action, which are
characteristics of more contemporary theories like constructivism and
liberalism. In that sense, the author concludes the theoretical production of
that era should be evaluated in more detail, in light of the actual state of
play in the science of International Relations.

Strategy tied to the effort to further integrate research and development of
defence technologies through European Defence Action Plan adopted in
November 2016. The author analyses the combined effect of multi-faceted
security challenges that the European Union faces and the perception of a
decreased and inadequate defence spending in the previous years. The part of
the analysis focuses on the political aspect of security challenges and how
Brussels? administration responds to those challenges. The author maintains
that new European Union Global Strategy is based on the drive for the more
rational development of defence industry, which is clearly manifested in
setting up a new European Defence Fund as an instrument of the European
Defence Action Plan. The recently designed institutional framework followed
by adequate financial support may serve as a nudge to the EU Member States
to make concrete steps towards the integration of their respective national
defence capacities.
