Abstract

In this thesis the author seeks to reconstruct and analyze economic relations between Yugoslavia and African nonaligned countries in the period between 1973 and the year 1981. The mentioned period is marked by the publishing of the Resolution on the promotion of economic relations between developing countries in 1973 by Yugoslav federal Assembly and the ministerial meeting of the Group 77 in Caracas in 1981. In the 1970s economic issues became more and more prominent within the Nonaligned movement. The vast majority of nonaligned countries were underdeveloped countries and thus the question of their development became more important. One of the ways to fight underdevelopment was to encourage mutual economic cooperation between nonaligned countries. As a member and one of the founders of the Nonaligned movement Yugoslavia too took steps to promote deeper economic ties with the members of the movement. The author reconstructs the original motives for promoting mutual economic relations between nonaligned countries and the results of that policy in the economic relations between Yugoslavia and African nonaligned countries. The general numbers are represented and certain countries, with which Yugoslavia had best economic cooperation, are highlighted.
