Abstract

This is a report written by three academics from the University of Manchester, the University of Southampton, and the University of Leeds on behalf of the United Nations Association – UK. These researchers have conducted a year-long project supported by the British Academy. Drawing extensively from research interviews with 29 participants2 – UN diplomats, UK officials, and individuals from non-governmental organisations – they have developed a picture of the perceptions and reputation of the United Kingdom within the United Nations system. Their research supports UNAUK’s longstanding3 contention that the UK needs to demonstrate its added value to the United Nations system, and adopt a principled and values driven foreign policy, if it is to maintain its current levels of efficacy and impact at the United Nations and add substance to its self-described ‘Global Britain’ agenda.
