Elections Within the United Nations: An Experimental Study Utilizing Statistical Analysis

Marshall R. Singer and Barton Sensenig

International Organization, 1963, vol. 17, issue 4, 901-925

Abstract: If, to misquote Harold Lasswell, one considers the study of politics to be the study of who gets what, when, and why, then this paper is a study of the politics of elections in the United Nations. Who gets what and when are easily discovered, since the results of elections and dates of elections are available in any United Nations Yearbook. The “why” is more difficult to determine. This paper is an attempt to analyze—by the use of empirical, numerical indices exclusively—why nations are elected to UN offices.
