Yugoslav Internationalisms I: Book Discussion: Yugoslavia, Nonalignment and Cold War Globalism, by Zvonimir Stopić, Robert Niebuhr, and David Pickus

Session Submission Type: Book Discussion Roundtable

Brief Description

This roundtable brings together scholars from various disciplines to discuss "Yugoslavia, Nonalignment and Cold War Globalism: Tito's International Rise, Celebrity and Fall," coauthored by Zvonimir Stopić, Robert Niebuhr, and David Pickus and published by Routledge in 2025. The book explores the emergence of Yugoslav globalism and how it was influenced by the early Cold War, the changes once Yugoslavia established itself as a nonaligned leader, and what the decline of Yugoslav globalism reveals about the waning Cold War and the history of internationalist diplomacy. The volume is aimed at scholars and students of the Cold War and Tito’s era in Yugoslavia, as well as general readers of history interested in leadership and the role of regional powers in world politics.
