The '''Association of Emerging Socialist Economies''' was an organisation of socialist states in the developing world, for the purpose of mutual aid and resisting Eastern domination of the global economic system, from 1949 to 1988. It was founded in Biunhamaomao, Dezevau. It held a plenary conference annually. Notable projects included the Atomic Foundation for Emerging Socialism and the International Institute for Social Healthcare. At its peak it had xxx members. Geographically, its membership was concentrated in Bahia and xxx, and in practice, it only admitted countries outside of Euclea and northern Asteria Superior, which were understood to be developed: its members were Coian, southern Asterian Superior, Asterian Inferior or oceanic islander.
The '''Association of Emerging Socialist Economies''' (initialised as '''AESE''') was an organisation of socialist states in the {{wp|developing world}}, for the purpose of mutual aid and resisting Eastern domination of the global economic system, from 1949 to 1988. It was founded in [[Biunhamao]], [[Dezevau]]. It held a plenary conference annually. It founded and sponsored many institutions for many purposes, ranging from cultural to technological to financial, and otherwise coordinated and improved relations. At its peak it had xx members. Geographically, its membership was concentrated in [[Coius]], and it only admitted as sponsored members countries outside of [[Euclea]] and northern [[Asteria Superior]], which were understood to be developed. However, developed sponsor states held significant influence. The AESE was associated with the [[Red Surge]], a geopolitical phenomenon in Coius of newly decolonised states adopting {{wp|socialism|socialist}} policy and ideology for a period, around the 1950s to the 1960s.  


==History==
==History==
The annual conferences were plenary and typically held in November, right from the beginning; this was because it avoided monsoon season in both hemispheres. The host city and country changed each time.  
===Foundation===
The AESE was founded in 1949, with its inaugural conference in [[Biunhamao]], in [[Dezevau]], which was a founding member along with [[Djedet]], [[Maracao]], [[Tsabara]] and others. The Treaty of Biunhamao created the organisation. At the time, the socialists seemed to be winning in [[Zorasan]], [[Mabifia]] and elsewhere, and to be on the rise in the rest of the postcolonial world; the centre of the socialist world seemed to be shifting away from [[Euclea]]. With [[Swetania]] attending as sponsor, and aware of this fact, speeches given at the first conference acknowledged the accelerating trend of decolonisation since the end of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in 1935, and the extent to which those who came out from under the thumb of colonialism seemed amenable to socialism and found it applicable to their national situations. The organisation paid special attention to the postcolonial world, or what would later become known as the global economic periphery, in regards of its economic relations to the developed world; despite the close involvement with developed world socialists, it was widely considered that different approaches would be needed in the developing, formerly colonised world. To this extent, it was much more tolerant of nationalism, cultural conservatism and heterodoxy from council democracy than groups such as the [[Association for International Socialism]] would be, though the official alignment remained internationalist.
 
===Expansion===
Countries joined shortly after foundation, such as [[Wale]] in 1951, Zorasan in 1953 and [[Ajahadya]] in 1955; the organisation in many cases had rapidly, if disorganisedly directed aid to socialists in the developing world, with apparently promising results. The organisation was involved in the process of decolonisation in Coius, which gave members purpose, though the process largely concluded by 1960.
 
AESE also became involved in the founding and sponsorship of institutions around the world, with socialism in mind. One of its more ambitious initiatives was the Atomic Foundation for Emerging Socialism, which sought to develop and share nuclear technology in the context of the developing world, where aims, culture and capabilities were often different from under capitalism and in the developed one. Another notable project of the organisation, which was more successful, was the International Institute for Social Healthcare; it became affiliated with the AIS after entering limbo after the dissolution of AESE, and is still operating.
 
===Garamburan War of Independence===
{{main|Garamburan War of Independence}}
In 1969, the Garamburan War of Independence was fought; [[Rwizikuru]], a member of AESE, was the main combatant on one side, while the Garamburans were supported by Mabifia and Djedet, also members. Rwizikuru had already lost diplomatic standing in AESE for its transition to monarchy and increasing authoritarianism, as well as disputes with Mabifia, and international opinion was on the side of the Garamburans, who won the war and established an independent [[Garambura]]. However, criticism was levelled at their side from the AESE perspective as they were not socialists, and were supported by foreign, capitalist powers, including [[Senria]], [[Estmere]] and [[Gaullica]], some of which which were even former colonisers of the region. While fellow AESE member Dezevau mediated the end to the war, at the conference later that year a motion was moved to expel Rwizikuru. It is unclear whether it would have passed, but Rwizikuru withdrew from the organisation before it could be voted on, in protest. These events, while they resolved the immediate issue of Rwizikuru's discord with other members, seriously shook the stability of the organisation and made clear how local nationalism, pan-Bahianism and internationalism could conflict in the socialist and anti-imperialist context.
 
===Irvadistan War===
In 1976, Zorasan invaded [[Irvadistan]], both countries being members of AESE. Zorasan ceased to be a member of AESE, shedding its heterodox socialism for a generally more conservative, religious, nationalist authoritarianism, while Irvadistan stood by its orthodox council democratic line. Elements of AESE intervened against Zorasan, but with help from the Eastern world for Zorasan, it won the Irvadistan War, annexing the Badawiyan country. The [[Association for International Socialism]] was founded in 1980, largely between those who had intervened against Zorasan, though in that same year the socialist [[Amathian Equalist Republic]] regime lost power. At this point, it was clear that AESE was rapidly losing coherence and relevance to the international socialist movement, which itself was in decline.
 
===Collapse===
The ascension of a new monarch in Rwizikuru without much sympathy for socialism seemed to clarify that country's permanent split with AESE, and in Dezevau the structural political influence of the [[Cultural Revolution|Cultural Revolutionaries]] was at such a point that they were making demands in regards of foreign policy. The membership of AESE, and the tide of socialism more generally across the world seemed to be receding; the remaining members dedicated to socialism largely saw the AESE as having failed in its mission to prosecute the case for socialism; one particularly prominent criticism was that it had failed to rein in, even enabled, regimes which had only been socialist in name. The 1988 conference voted to dissolve the organisation, amidst acrimony and a breakdown in cooperation.
 
===Legacy===
Soon after the dissolution of AESE, there were only three socialist countries in the world: Kirenia, Maracao and Dezevau. The [[International Forum for Developing States]], formed in 1985, succeeded the AESE as the most significant international body for south-south cooperation. The historical peak of socialist influence in the developing world, and indeed in the world generally, is generally considered to still be the decades after the midpoint of the century, in the Red Surge.
 
==Membership==
At its peak, AESE had ten emerging members and two sponsors. The number of sponsors later rose to three, after the number of emerging members was in decline.

==Structure==
Signature to the Treaty of Biunhamao was the manner in which accession was conducted, along with a majority of members voting in favour of accession at a plenary conference. The organisation's formal leader was the General Secretary, who was elected annually, at the plenary conference; reelections were common. The General Secretary, in practice, worked with administrative matters, but was otherwise somewhat of a figurehead.
===Sponsors===
Sponsors were not ordinarily referred to as members, but were in essence; their delegates had defined speaking, attending and voting rights at conferences, and the manner of becoming a sponsor was the same as becoming an emerging member. Because of their greater economic, diplomatic and prestigious significance, they tended to lead and guide policy. They were also the major contributors to programmes which often amounted to foreign aid for emerging members. This two-tiered structure reflected the world systems view held by many of those involving with AESE, and helped emphasise socialism as being an ideology for not only those downtrodden within a society, but for countries which had suffered from imperialism; arguably, it did this successfully, but at the cost of coherence in the entire socialist ideology.
===Conferences===
The annual conferences were plenary and typically held in November, right from the beginning; this was because it avoided monsoon season in both hemispheres. The host city and country changed from conference to conference. The annual conference was central to the organisation of AESE, being as it also chose the next host city and country, and saw debates and speeches and setting of policy agendas.

The AESE was founded in 1949, with its inaugural conference in Biunhamaomao, in [[Dezevau]], which was a founding member along with [[Djedet]], xxx and xxx. At the time, the socialists seemed to be winning in Zorasan and Mabifia, and to be on the rise in the rest of the postcolonial world; the centre of the socialist world seemed to be shifting away from Euclea. With Swetania, Chervolesia and Amathia as observers, speeches given at the first conference acknowledged the accelerating trend of decolonisation since the end of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in 1935, and the extent to which those who came out from under the thumb of colonialism seemed amenable to socialism and found it applicable to their national situations. The organisation sought for the postcolonial world, or what would later become known as the global economic periphery, to take charge of its own affairs; it was friendly to the socialists of Euclean and northern Asteria Superior, but considered that different approaches were required in the developing, formerly colonised world. To this extent, it was much more tolerant of nationalism, traditionalism and hybridism than Intercon was, though the official alignment remained internationalist.
The Association of Emerging Socialist Economies founded and sponsored many institutions for the international socialist movement, both in the developing world and more broadly. These institutions were often largely independent, but accepted resources and contact with AESE, and nominally followed its directives. Many of these institutions survived it, becoming independent or becoming affiliated with the Association for International Socialism.

In 1988, Zorasan moved to a system of government dominated by clerics and the military, largely shedding the remnants of its socialism. The ascension of a new monarch in Rwizikuru without much sympathy for socialism seemed to clarify that country's permanent split with AESE, and in Dezevau the structural political influence of the Cultural Revolutionaries was at such a point that they were making demands in regards of foreign policy.

===Legacy===
Since the dissolution of AESE, there have been no major international socialist organisations outside of InterCon, which has remained firmly internationalist socialist. The [[International Forum for Developing States]], formed in 1985, succeeded the AESE as the most significant international body for south-south cooperation. The historical peak of socialist influence in the developing world, and indeed in the world generally, is generally considered to remain the golden age of the AESE, in the years shortly before the Garamburan War of Independence crisis.

The Association of Emerging Socialist Economies (initialised as AESE) was an organisation of socialist states in the developing world, for the purpose of mutual aid and resisting Eastern domination of the global economic system, from 1949 to 1988. It was founded in Biunhamao, Dezevau. It held a plenary conference annually. It founded and sponsored many institutions for many purposes, ranging from cultural to technological to financial, and otherwise coordinated and improved relations. At its peak it had xx members. Geographically, its membership was concentrated in Coius, and it only admitted as sponsored members countries outside of Euclea and northern Asteria Superior, which were understood to be developed. However, developed sponsor states held significant influence. The AESE was associated with the Red Surge, a geopolitical phenomenon in Coius of newly decolonised states adopting socialist policy and ideology for a period, around the 1950s to the 1960s.

History

Foundation

The AESE was founded in 1949, with its inaugural conference in Biunhamao, in Dezevau, which was a founding member along with Djedet, Maracao, Tsabara and others. The Treaty of Biunhamao created the organisation. At the time, the socialists seemed to be winning in Zorasan, Mabifia and elsewhere, and to be on the rise in the rest of the postcolonial world; the centre of the socialist world seemed to be shifting away from Euclea. With Swetania attending as sponsor, and aware of this fact, speeches given at the first conference acknowledged the accelerating trend of decolonisation since the end of the Great War in 1935, and the extent to which those who came out from under the thumb of colonialism seemed amenable to socialism and found it applicable to their national situations. The organisation paid special attention to the postcolonial world, or what would later become known as the global economic periphery, in regards of its economic relations to the developed world; despite the close involvement with developed world socialists, it was widely considered that different approaches would be needed in the developing, formerly colonised world. To this extent, it was much more tolerant of nationalism, cultural conservatism and heterodoxy from council democracy than groups such as the Association for International Socialism would be, though the official alignment remained internationalist.

Expansion

Countries joined shortly after foundation, such as Wale in 1951, Zorasan in 1953 and Ajahadya in 1955; the organisation in many cases had rapidly, if disorganisedly directed aid to socialists in the developing world, with apparently promising results. The organisation was involved in the process of decolonisation in Coius, which gave members purpose, though the process largely concluded by 1960.

AESE also became involved in the founding and sponsorship of institutions around the world, with socialism in mind. One of its more ambitious initiatives was the Atomic Foundation for Emerging Socialism, which sought to develop and share nuclear technology in the context of the developing world, where aims, culture and capabilities were often different from under capitalism and in the developed one. Another notable project of the organisation, which was more successful, was the International Institute for Social Healthcare; it became affiliated with the AIS after entering limbo after the dissolution of AESE, and is still operating.

Garamburan War of Independence

Main article: Garamburan War of Independence

In 1969, the Garamburan War of Independence was fought; Rwizikuru, a member of AESE, was the main combatant on one side, while the Garamburans were supported by Mabifia and Djedet, also members. Rwizikuru had already lost diplomatic standing in AESE for its transition to monarchy and increasing authoritarianism, as well as disputes with Mabifia, and international opinion was on the side of the Garamburans, who won the war and established an independent Garambura. However, criticism was levelled at their side from the AESE perspective as they were not socialists, and were supported by foreign, capitalist powers, including Senria, Estmere and Gaullica, some of which which were even former colonisers of the region. While fellow AESE member Dezevau mediated the end to the war, at the conference later that year a motion was moved to expel Rwizikuru. It is unclear whether it would have passed, but Rwizikuru withdrew from the organisation before it could be voted on, in protest. These events, while they resolved the immediate issue of Rwizikuru's discord with other members, seriously shook the stability of the organisation and made clear how local nationalism, pan-Bahianism and internationalism could conflict in the socialist and anti-imperialist context.

Irvadistan War

In 1976, Zorasan invaded Irvadistan, both countries being members of AESE. Zorasan ceased to be a member of AESE, shedding its heterodox socialism for a generally more conservative, religious, nationalist authoritarianism, while Irvadistan stood by its orthodox council democratic line. Elements of AESE intervened against Zorasan, but with help from the Eastern world for Zorasan, it won the Irvadistan War, annexing the Badawiyan country. The Association for International Socialism was founded in 1980, largely between those who had intervened against Zorasan, though in that same year the socialist Amathian Equalist Republic regime lost power. At this point, it was clear that AESE was rapidly losing coherence and relevance to the international socialist movement, which itself was in decline.

Collapse

The ascension of a new monarch in Rwizikuru without much sympathy for socialism seemed to clarify that country's permanent split with AESE, and in Dezevau the structural political influence of the Cultural Revolutionaries was at such a point that they were making demands in regards of foreign policy. The membership of AESE, and the tide of socialism more generally across the world seemed to be receding; the remaining members dedicated to socialism largely saw the AESE as having failed in its mission to prosecute the case for socialism; one particularly prominent criticism was that it had failed to rein in, even enabled, regimes which had only been socialist in name. The 1988 conference voted to dissolve the organisation, amidst acrimony and a breakdown in cooperation.

Legacy

Soon after the dissolution of AESE, there were only three socialist countries in the world: Kirenia, Maracao and Dezevau. The International Forum for Developing States, formed in 1985, succeeded the AESE as the most significant international body for south-south cooperation. The historical peak of socialist influence in the developing world, and indeed in the world generally, is generally considered to still be the decades after the midpoint of the century, in the Red Surge.

Membership

At its peak, AESE had ten emerging members and two sponsors. The number of sponsors later rose to three, after the number of emerging members was in decline.

The following table is a snapshot of AESE's members at its peak in 1960.

Observers

A number of countries, mostly socialists in the developed world, were observers to AESE, being present at conferences and generally having friendly relations but not participating directly.

Signature to the Treaty of Biunhamao was the manner in which accession was conducted, along with a majority of members voting in favour of accession at a plenary conference. The organisation's formal leader was the General Secretary, who was elected annually, at the plenary conference; reelections were common. The General Secretary, in practice, worked with administrative matters, but was otherwise somewhat of a figurehead.
