The Non-Aligned Movement had an important impact on the history of decolonization, South-South cooperation, the Global Cold War and the North-South conflict. During the 20th century nearly all Asian, African and Latin American countries joined the movement to make their voice heard in global politics. In The Non-Aligned Movement, Jürgen Dinkel examines for the first time the history of the NAM since the interwar period as a special reaction of the “Global South” to changing global orders. The study shows breaks and caesurae as well as continuities in the history of globalization and analyses the history of international relations from a non-western perspective. For this book, empirical research was undertaken in Germany, Great Britain, Indonesia, Russia, Serbia, and the United States.
This book sets out to discuss what kind of ‘middle power’ Australia is, and whether its identity as a middle power negatively influences its relationship with Asia. It looks at the history of the middle power concept, develops three concepts of middle power status and examines Australia’s relationships with China, Japan and Indonesia as a focus. It argues that Australia is an ‘awkward partner’ in its relations with Asia due to both its historical colonial and discriminatory past, as well its current dependence upon the United States for a security alliance. It argues this should be changed by adopting a new middle power concept in Australian foreign policy.
Australia and the World celebrates the pioneering role of Neville Meaney in the formation and development of foreign relations history in Australia and his profound influence on its study, teaching and application. The contributors to the volume, historians, practitioners of foreign relations and political commentators, many of whom were taught by Meaney at the University of Sydney over the years, focus especially on the interaction between geopolitics, culture and ideology in shaping Australian and American approaches to the world.

Die Bewegung Bündnisfreier Staaten gilt als Unikum in der Geschichte der Dekolonisation, der Süd-Süd-Kooperation, des Kalten Krieges und des Nord-Süd-Konfliktes. In ihr haben sich im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts nahezu alle asiatischen, afrikanischen und lateinamerikanischen Staaten zusammengeschlossen, um ihren weltpolitischen Interessen größeres Gewicht zu verleihen. Mit 120 Mitgliedsstaaten stellt sie nach den Vereinten Nationen eine der größten internationalen Organisationen der Gegenwart dar. Jürgen Dinkel analysiert in dieser Studie erstmals die gesamte Geschichte der Bewegung seit der Zwischenkriegszeit als spezielle Reaktion des "globalen Südens" auf den Wandel der internationalen Beziehungen. Dabei werden Brüche und Kontinuitäten im globalen Vernetzungsprozess sichtbar und die Geschichte internationaler Beziehungen aus einer außereuropäischen Perspektive betrachtet.
