The untranslatable word fjaka describes "a very particular state of mind when you desire nothing more than to gaze off into the distance and abandon all forms of activity. It's “the art of doing nothing" and "a yearning for nothingness." It's also the title of the latest book of travel writing about the former Yugoslavia, out of Poland.

Student scholarships were a huge part of Yugoslavia’s nonaligned diplomacy and one of the most tangible and visible ways Yugoslav citizens experienced nonalignment. Between 1955 and 1984, Yugoslavia granted nearly 8,000 scholarships to young people from 90 political parties, liberation movements, and countries of the Global South, with foreign students receiving professional, military, and university training and education in the country for various periods. But the program also had an ugly s...

Yugoslavia pursued its own socialist path in the realm of culture, too, exporting its production to the Global South to showcase its progress. Though the Nonaligned Movement lacked a policy on culture, cultural cooperation was part and parcel of decolonization and peaceful coexistence. In the process, a global network of cultural exchanges and a distinct version of modernism developed. With Bojana Piškur and Ljiljana Kolešnik. Featuring music by Baligh Hamdi and Koudede, courtesy of Sub...

Self-management was at the core of the identity of Yugoslav socialism and its best export. It was an outgrowth of nonalignment, the domestic expression of Yugoslavia's aspirations to play a global role and differentiate itself from the two power blocs. Yugoslavia’s nonalignment would not have been possible without self-management and Yugoslavia's self-management would not have been possible without nonalignment. With Goran Musić, Ljubica Spaskovska, and Želimir Anić. Featuring music by Five R...

Decolonization was a goal of the Nonaligned Movement as a prerequisite for peaceful coexistence; the Movement supported liberation movements and organizations in Africa and Asia.

A look at Yugoslavia’s support for decolonization a...
