Equitable representation in the councils of the United Nations : theory and application
Gould, Matthew; Rablen, Matthew - 2013
We develop a theoretical framework for equity in council voting games (CVGs). In a CVG, a fully representative voting body delegates decision-making to a subset of the members, as describes, e.g., the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Three equity concepts are proposed: ex-ante...
