Abstract: This paper explores the limits and opportunities of relying on voting data to measure regional leadership in the United Nations (UN) context. Choosing the European Union (EU)’s functioning at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) as case study, it shows that these opportunities are limited for various reasons, notably because of the functioning of both the former and the latter.
