我应用提名比例来分析联合国大会冷战和冷战后点名投票的数据库。我研究了全球冲突的维度和稳定性，以及取代冷战东西方维度的投票联盟的实质性内容。我发现冷战后联合国大会上的冲突大多是一维的。这一单一维度将各国置于一个连续体上，从一个极端的西方国家集团到经常与西方（尤其是美国）发生冲突的“反霸权”国家集团。民主和财富水平是国家投票行为的重要独立决定因素。各国在单一维度上的立场在时间、问题领域和问题重要性上都非常稳定。除了东欧国家倒戈外，它们与冷战东西方维度上的立场非常相似。与预期相反，冷战后的冲突与冷战时期的南北冲突几乎没有相似之处。
I apply nominate scaling to analyze a database of Cold War and post–Cold War roll call votes in the United Nations General Assembly. I investigate the dimensionality and stability of global conflict as well as the substantive content of the voting alignments that have replaced the Cold War East-West dimension. I find that post–Cold War conflict in the UN General Assembly is mostly one-dimensional. This single dimension positions countries on a continuum that runs from a group of Western countries at one extreme to a “counterhegemonic” bloc of countries that frequently clashes with the West, and the United States in particular. Levels of democracy and wealth are important independent determinants of the voting behavior of states. The positions of countries along the single dimension are remarkably stable across time, issue area, and issue importance. Except for the Eastern European countries switching sides, they are very similar to the positions on the Cold War East-West dimension. Contrary to expectations, post–Cold War conflict shows little resemblance to Cold War North-South conflict.
