 Diplomatic NetworksDeborah E. Lange Chapter Chapter 4 in Power and Influence, 2010, pp 41-50 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Given the earlier analysis, what is dominating the diplomatic agenda over the decade of the 1990s? The cold war is over and the powers-that-were do not have as much power in the UNGA; of course, Russia and the United States maintain their veto power on the UN Security Council, but this is not the forum under examination. Issues of the most heightened importance are discussed there whereas the UNGA offers an arena for greater diversity of issues since the agenda does not have to be as urgent or securityrelated and all countries are involved. The world is more likely split along the traditional North-South lines at this time and protective communities are growing up. Aside from the UN issue agenda that clearly puts activities of the Middle East at the top (see table 8.1 in chapter 8), perhaps examining the diplomatic-visits networks will provide more information about the embeddedness of nations and what drives this embeddedness. I will explain the diagrams, analyze a prominent country in the diagrams to see if voting is related to its position, and then discuss the visits as they relate to major events in each region of the world.
