Purposes, Politicisation and Pitfalls of Diplomatic Gift-giving to the United Nations
In: The Hague journal of diplomacy, Band 16, Heft 1, S. 110-119
Abstract
Summary
Politicisation has characterised diplomatic gift-giving to the United Nations since its early years. Donations of decor and furnishings in some instances can be an equaliser, and in others can accentuate inequalities. Member States' motives range from altruistic to self-seeking, but larger purposes are served, including increased cross-cultural understanding and community building.
