When 29 leaders from Africa and Asia met in Bandung in 1955, their purpose was to define a common vision of the postcolonial future, for their countries and the world. They constituted a coalition - The Third World - to pursue an agenda for a decolonized world order, with commitments to human rights, equality and self determination.
In this event, Christopher Lee will explore Afro-Asian solidarity politics (representing half of the world’s population), both historically and contemporary, including Bandung, the Non-Aligned Movement, New International Economic Order, the Right to Development, South-South cooperation, up and through COVID-19.
Co-sponsored with the India China Institute.
