ABSTRACT
Voting groups in the General Assembly provide a relevant datum, though hardly the only one, for an effort to identify these groups. An interest in voting groups may have a number of payoffs. The United Nations gives no perfect image of broader international politics; due to the one-nation one-vote principle and to the fact that it is not a world government with authority to enforce its decisions, such as functional or geographic ones. Nationalist China is of course heavily dependent upon United States military and diplomatic support. The United Nations gives no perfect image of broader international politics; due to the one-nation one-vote principle and to the fact that it is not a world government with authority to enforce its decisions, such as functional or geographic ones. An interest in voting groups may have a number of payoffs. Thus no fully satisfactory method for the identification of voting groups has yet appeared in the international organization literature.
