From Bandung (1955) to 2015: Old and New Challenges for the States, the Nations and the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America

 

Abstract

This paper reminds us what was really Bandung and non-alignment, which the author understands as having been in its time “non-alignment on the imperialist pattern of globalisation” of the time. Today, again, states and societies of the global South are the victims of the pattern of imperialist unipolar globalisation of our time. Therefore, the challenge is again to construct a South solidarity against globalisation, creating the conditions for a polycentric world order. This is “reviving the spirit of Bandung.”
