| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation has two basic purposes: ( 1 ) to describe certain attitude patterns toward the United nations by the delegate members of Caucasian groups within the organization and (to closed parentheses to test a hypothesis concerning these patterns. The descriptive component is intended to supplement political science literature concerning the Caucasian groups of the United Nations. Although Thomas Hovet, Jr. Has made a study of the voting records of caucusing groups in his book Bloc Politics in the United Nations, no one, so far, as attempted to ascertain attitudinal differences between the groups. It is apparent that attitudes are not the only important set of variables in the (present or future) behavior patterns at the United Nations. Every discussion, therefore, of the ramification of these patterns must be considered prefaced by the phrase: “to the extent delegate attitudes are pertinent.” It is assumed that these attitudes are pertinent. This assumption is made because delegates ( 1 ) frequently make decisions without directions from their home governments, ( 2 ) supply information to their home governments and hence their personal opinions are probably reflected in this intelligence, and ( 3 ) are frequently asked for their advice when home governments compile instructions. Therefore, a presentation of delegate attitudes may facilitate an understanding of the United Nations. | en_US |
