Abstract
The article focuses on the process that led to the Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP) being established and the factors shaping its emergence. The author explains NANAP’s emergence by referring to three groups of factors. The first is the interests and strategies of Yugoslav political elites and of Yugoslavia’s Tanjug news agency. While Tanjug was interested in increasing its global reach and position in the global marketplace of news agencies, the federal political elites saw Tanjug as an important foreign policy tool. Yugoslavia was actively pushing to institutionalise informational cooperation within the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) already in the run-up to the 4th NAM summit in Algiers, even though the objective conditions were deemed minimal. The second factor is changes in international relations given that NANAP developed in the context of the institutionalisation of NAM in the 1970s and its efforts to build “self-reliance” so as to increase its position within the global economy and bargaining power vis-à-vis the developed countries. NANAP therefore recontextualised Tanjug’s bilateral news exchange agreements into a multilateral project of economic cooperation within NAM, aimed at strengthening mutual understanding and gaining independence from global (primarily Western) news sources. Finally, NANAP’s development was shaped by the movement’s institutional history as NANAP was conceived and institutionalised in the mould of pre-existing forms of economic cooperation. To respect the movement’s decentralised ethos, Yugoslavia had to downplay and disguise its significant level of involvement in establishing NANAP and other forms of informational cooperation and to present them as multilateral projects with broad support within NAM.

Title:Nastanek Združenja neuvrščenih tiskovnih agencij
Abstract:
Članek se osredotoča na proces oblikovanja Združenja neuvrščenih novičarskih agencij in dejavnike, ki so oblikovali njegov razvoj. Avtor pojasnjuje nastanek združenja s tremi skupinami dejavnikov. Prvi so bili interesi in strategije jugoslovanskih političnih elit in novičarske agencije Tanjug. Medtem ko se je Tanjug zanimal za povečanje svojega globalnega do sega in položaja na svetovnem trgu novičarskih agencij, so ga zvezne politične elite videle kot pomembno orodje zunanje politike. Jugoslavija si je že v času pred četrtim vrhom neuvrščenih v Alžiru prizadevala za institucionalizacijo informacijskega sodelovanja, čeprav so bili objektivni pogoji ocenjeni kot minimalni. Drugi dejavnik so spremembe v mednarodnih odnosih, saj se je združenje tiskovnih agencij pojavilo v kontekstu institucionalizacije gibanja neuvrščenih v sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja in njegovih prizadevanj »zanašanja na lastne sile«, da bi države tako izboljšale svoj položaj v svetovnem gospodarstvu in pogajalsko moč v odnosu do razvitih držav. Združenje je zato Tanjugove dvostranske sporazume o izmenjavi novic rekontekstualiziralo v večstranski projekt gospodarskega sodelovanja znotraj gibanja neuvrščenih, katerega cilj sta bili krepitev medsebojnega razumevanja in osamosvojitev od globalnih (predvsem zahodnih) virov novic. Kot tretje pa je razvoj združenja oblikovala institucionalna zgodovina gibanja, saj je bilo združenje zasnovano in institucionalizirano po vzoru že obstoječih oblik gospodarskega sodelovanja. Za spoštovanje decentraliziranega duha gibanja je morala Jugoslavija prikriti svoj angažma pri vzpostavljanju združenja tiskovnih agencij in drugih oblik informacijskega sodelovanja ter jih predstaviti kot večstranske projekte s široko podporo znotraj gibanja neuvrščenih.
