The New International Economic Order (NIEO) was an attempt, underpinned by the agency of the Global South, to articulate global economic and social rights consequent upon political rights gained through processes of decolonisation. The New International Economic Order: Lives and Afterlives situates the NIEO within the interregnum of the 1970s, addressing its core features, intellectual antecedents, contradictions, absences, and afterlives. Particular attention is paid to the role of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) alongside the G-77 and UNCTAD. The book traces the orchestrated United States' opposition to the NIEO and the growth of neoliberalism at the end of the 1970s before discussing some of the NIEO’s many afterlives. It argues that analysing, translating, and adapting the NIEO is important for any re-envisioning of emancipatory global economic, political, and social relations today.

Using a mixture of documentary and archive material, The New International Economic Order will be of interest to students and researchers in diplomatic history, international relations, development studies, and sociology. It brings together a large number of themes that are not usually considered together in the existing literature, combining theory and empirics in innovative ways.

Paul Stubbs is Emeritus Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Economics, Zagreb. His research focuses on the anthropology of policy; left-green municipalism; international actors in social policy; and the history of socialist Yugoslavia. He edited 'Socialist Yugoslavia and the Non-Aligned Movement: Social, Cultural, Political and Economic Imaginaries' (2023).
