Abstract

This paper exposes the fallacy of the dichotomy between representativeness and effectiveness in the case of the UN Security Council reform. It argues that increasing the representativeness of the UN Security Council is not only in accordance with requirements of the current geopolitical realities but also conducive to boosting its ability to act effectively. Whilst both representativeness and effectiveness are equally desirable, the pursuit of the one of them without considering the consequences to the other may ultimately undermine both. The US position toward the UN Security Council reform is taken as a case study. Discourse analysis serves as a theoretical underpinning of this study.
