Summary/Abstract: The USA strategy development towards non-aligned countries represents the union of continuity and changes. The continuity is shown in efforts to strengthen its own positions and interests as much as possible in the non-aligned movement due to further consolidation of political, militaristic, economic and technological leadership of the USA in the world. The changes are manifested in the valuation system of the non-aligned politics and its role in the modern world. The attitude of the USA to the non-alignment went from the period of denying the international orientation of non-aligned countries at the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, followed by the period of disregard, up to the beginning of the 1970s, as well as by the confrontation with non-aligned countries, „the third block” that had carried out the „tyranny of the majority”, to the tacit acknowledgment of the non-alignment, but with the further confrontation with non-aligned countries (up to the Carter’s government). Eventually, it entered the phase of public acknowledgment and advocacy for the cooperation with nonaligned countries at the end of the 1970s. In the 1980s, the USA began to flow towards the gradual exclusion of the non-aligned movement from the international scene, by its neutralization and submissiveness, which certainly represented the picture of the complete crash of the non-aligned politics and the marginalization of the non-aligned movement role in the modern world.
