摘要

近年来，非洲在多边组织中的地位越来越明显。关于非洲机构的新文献表明，在国际一级协调非洲利益的工作明显增加。这篇文章质疑非洲机构在联合国安理会(UNSC)的实体化程度，以及这是否导致了在联合国最高决策机构的更大影响力?为此，我们研究了22年间(2000-2021年)联合国安理会决议的投票模式。这是首次对安理会的A3投票进行全面分析。我们发现，虽然有改善协调的定性迹象，但这只是部分导致直接影响的可衡量的增加。这篇文章暗示了机构影响力差距。非洲国家并没有有效地将其新成立的机构转化为更大的影响力。文章的最后一节提出了这一缺陷的四个解释原因。

The African Three (A3) at the UN Security Council: Translating Agency into Influence?

ABSTRACT African positions in multilateral organisations have become more pronounced in recent years. An emerging body of literature on African agency indicates a visible increase in coordinating African interests at international level. This article interrogates to which degree African agency has materialised at the UN Security Council (UNSC) and whether this has led to greater influence in the highest decision-making body of the UN? For this undertaking, we explore UNSC resolution voting patterns over a period of 22 years (2000–2021). This is the first time an extensive analysis of A3 voting at the UNSC has been conducted. We find that although there are qualitative signs of improved coordination, this has only partially resulted in a measurable increase in direct influence. The article connotes an agency influence gap. African countries do not effectively transfer their new found agency into greater influence. The last section of the article presents four explanatory reasons for this deficiency.

期刊介绍： Politikon focuses primarily on South African politics, but not exclusively so. Over the years the journal has published articles by some of the world" leading political scientists, including Arend Lijphart, Samuel Huntingdon, and Philippe Schmitter. It has also featured important contributions from South Africa"s leading political philosophers, political scientists and international relations experts. It has proved an influential journal, particularly in debates over the merits of South Africa"s constitutional reforms (in 1983 and 1994). In the last few years special issues have focused on women and politics in South Africa, and the South African election of 1999.
