- Title
US PRESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP AT THE UNITED NATIONS: EVALUATING THE PAST AND LOOKING AHEAD TO THE 21ST CENTURY GOVERNANCE.
- Authors
Schlesinger, Stephen
- Abstract
The article examines how U.S. presidents have communicated with the United Nations (UN) since its founding in 1945, with a focus on how historical lessons on presidential diplomacy can affect future diplomatic endeavors. It examines how relations between the U.S. and the UN changed during and after the Cold War, focusing on presidents like Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Other topics include how American anti-Communist sentiment drove UN relations for presidents of both parties, how the threat of unpaid UN dues has created tension between the governing bodies, and America's opinion on the UN Security Council.
