Fewer votes on Security Council
I was interested in a comment from Castenada, Mexico's Foreign Minister, in
a CNN interview. Described as having an interesting history including
having been a writer and a "communist", he saw Mexico's role on the
Security Council as one of working within (and presumably hoping slightly
to modify) the consensus.
He said that now there are few votes on the Security Council.
Presumably this means that the hegemony of the USA is never overtly
challenged, but it cannot just force through majority decisions by using
anti-communism as a stick to beat its poorer allies into loyalty.
Has there been any discussion of this change in the choreography of world
power?
