1. How will you get these non-aligned (uncommitted) nations on your side?

This can be done many ways, my favorite is by using trade and economic ties. This is done by trading resources that the non-aligned nations might want or need.

2. How might actions affect your country? The other superpower?

These trade actions would increase trade within my country and the other nations. This would create an increase in jobs, money, and overall wellbeing.

3. How might being caught in a struggle between superpowers affect a developing nation?

Joining one specific side could result in benefits from that superpower, but the other superpower might cut off all diplomatic relationships. This could result in a cut of needed or wanted resources, or even war.
