A Balance of Power in the United Nations Security Council?

Mehr zum Buch

The paper investigates whether China's increased foreign aid to non-permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) poses a challenge to U.S. dominance. It posits that China's aid, which is often unconditional, may be more effective than U.S. aid in garnering support within the UNSC. By examining Chinese spending patterns, the research suggests that this strategy could enable China to influence the UNSC dynamics more effectively, providing leaders with greater autonomy in resource allocation.
