Non-alignment

Synonyms:
Policy of positive neutrality
Description:

Placing a nation or other social grouping in a neutral position rather than siding with existing factions.

Context:

Non-aligning has significantly developed since World War II. Many nations have chosen non-alignment as the basis of their foreign policy. While neutrality is non-participation on either side of an armed conflict, non-alignment is not subscribing to one or another of conflicting ideologies, but actively pursuing the freedom of choosing elements of either or neither one.

Implementation:

Non-aligning requires that there be an option of two or more factions which one could chose to side with.

Claim:

Provides a way for individuals, smaller groups or countries to band together to form an additional alternative.

Counter Claim:

In order to be effective each country which is not a major power has to align with a group with power.
