British Voting Behavior in the United Nations Security Council

London’s failure to meet the goals of foreign policy within the European Concert on the one side and revising the cooperative approaches with great powers due to dependency of the League of Nations and reduction of British imperialist power and plunging into moderate power on the other side has led to fluctuation of Britain’s voting behavior in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). In fact, desisting from idealism and plummeting of its level and quality of representation in the SC during the cold war and pragmatist orientation in the new international order motivate the author to analyze the UK’s voting behavior in the UNSC. The main hypothesis for the above question is that Britain tries to survive the national interests at different levels based on maximalist activism and international management. In other word, the synthesis of liberal internationalism and Europeanism are the main sources of British voting behavior in the SC. The current paper will analytically- comparatively test the hypothesis according to the theory of collective security and responsibility.
