Abstract
Soviet countries were the most cohesive bloc in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) during the bipolar era, after which the East-West cleavage was replaced by a North-South division. Hence, the Soviet space fell out of the attention of UN research in the post-Cold War era. However, this North-South polarization arises mainly from voting analyses that ignore other interstate activities at the UN. An analysis of sponsorship patterns of draft resolutions from the last decade, in contrast, reveals alternative groups, including a cluster with former Soviet, Eastern European, and Turkish-speaking countries, suggesting some unity among Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. In light of such evidence, this exploratory paper uses data on UNGA spon­sorship between 2009 and 2019 to descriptively characterize this newfound coalition of Eurasian countries, probing what their pattern of UNGA activity is and what topics bind them together as a group.
 
Los países soviéticos fueron el bloque más cohesionado en la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas (AGNU) durante la era bipolar, después de la cual la división Este-Oeste fue reempla­zada por una división Norte-Sur. Por lo tanto, el espacio soviético quedó fuera de la atención de la investigación de la ONU en la era posterior a la Guerra Fría. Sin embargo, esta polarización Nor­te-Sur surge principalmente de análisis de votaciones que ignoran otras actividades interestatales en la ONU. En cambio, un análisis de los patrones de patrocinio de proyectos de resolución de la última década revela grupos alternativos, incluido un grupo con antiguos países soviéticos, de Europa del Este y de habla turca, lo que sugiere cierta unidad entre Armenia, Azerbaiyán, Bielorrusia, Kazajstán, Kirguistán, Rusia, Tayikistán, Türkiye, Turkmenistán y Uzbekistán. A la luz de dicha evidencia, este documento explora­torio utiliza datos sobre el patrocinio de la AGNU entre 2009 y 2019 para caracterizar descriptivamente esta nueva coalición de países euroasiáticos, investigando cuál es su patrón de actividad de la AGNU y qué temas los unen como grupo.
