'Impossible Job' of UN Secretary-General: Presiding over 193 member states with competing interests
Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Dr. Alexandra Novosseloff, Associate Research Fellow at the Thucydides Centre of Paris II Panthéon-Assas University. According to Dr. Novosseloff, the UN is a living reflection of the geopolitical tensions that shape our world. In assessing the current race for Secretary-General, she focuses less on individual personalities and more on the structural constraints that define the role itself. The Secretary-General operates within a system driven by competing state interests, where leadership is less about authority and more about navigation.
