CBSEENPO12041105

What is the rationale of the Non-Aligned Movement after the end of the Cold War?

Solution

The rationale are:

(i) It was based on a recognition that decolonized states share a historical affiliation and can become a power force if they come together.

(ii) It meant that the poor and often very small countries of the world need not become the followers of any of the big powers.

(iii) They could pursue an independent foreign policy.

(iv) It was also based on a resolve to democratize the international system by thinking about an alternative world order to redress existing inequities.
