Explanation
★Schwarzenberger condemned non-alignment as self-centred, so the answer is Schwarzenberger.
★Georg Schwarzenberger was a scholar of international law and a realist critic of neutralism.
★He saw non-alignment as a self-serving way for new states to extract gains from both Cold-War blocs.
★Non-alignment itself rejected Cold-War alliances and stressed independence, peace and cooperation.
★Its supporters argued it was a principled middle path, not opportunism.
★Realist critics like Schwarzenberger doubted that genuine neutrality was possible in a bipolar world.
★Hans Morgenthau, by contrast, is the founder of classical realism, a different line of thought.
