Heine Discusses Recent Book and the Concept of Active Non-Alignment (ANA)
Former Chilean diplomat and Quincy Institute non-resident fellow, Jorge Heine was in conversation with Sarang Shidore, director of the Global South Program at the Quincy Institute, about his recent publication, The Non-Aligned World: Striking Out in an Era of Great Power Competition, which he co-authored with Carlos Fortin, Emeritus Fellow and Research Associate at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, UK and Professor at the Institute of International Studies at the University of Chile, and Carlos Ominami, president of the Foro Permanente de Política Exterior, a Chilean think tank, a director of the Chile 21 Foundation, and an associate fellow at the Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies (IRIS) in Paris.
Heine explains the concept of Active Non-Alignment (ANA), a foreign policy strategy that allows developing nations to avoid rigid alliances with major powers and instead pursue their national interests by engaging with all sides, and argues that it’s here to stay.
