Democracy and Multilateralism: Vote Buying in the UN General Assembly

Carter and Stone (Princeton / Rochester, 2012), “Democracy and Multilateralism: The Case of Vote Buying in the UN General Assembly.” They test whether democracies back US UNGA positions because of shared preferences, greater vulnerability to aid pressure, or more credible US linkage. A strategic statistical model separates those channels and compares Cold War and post–Cold War periods. A second companion file is included as study material.
