The Non-Aligned Movement is an association of countries not formally aligned with any superpower. It was founded during the Cold War in 1956 to prevent India, Yugoslavia, Indonesia, Egypt and Ghana from being drawn into the increasingly tense Cold War. At the Bandung Conference, the movement achieved recognition from figures such as Indonesia's President Sukarno and Zhou Enlai with its pledge to remain neutral. Over the decades, its membership expanded and its original goals became increasingly difficult to achieve. Many members had close ties to the superpowers in one way or another and members fought each other in wars. After the cold war, the movement lost its original purpose and has repurposed itself as opposing what it sees as Western hegemony and neoliberal economic policies. How could the movement have a stronger impact in achieving its original goal of neutrality?
