Abstract

This paper analyzes cohesion of EU member states in the UNGA. It builds on voting cohesion analysis by adding automated text analysis to the exploration, demonstrating trends of cohesion also before (or after) actual voting in the UNGA. The paper assesses effects of the Lisbon Treaty as well as the introduction of the EU's enhanced observer status in the UNGA to see to which extent cohesion has been influenced, also in the actual processes of coordination within the UN.
