Member states' voting patterns in the UN General Assembly

Voting "ideal points"* based on votes in the UN General Assembly 2000-2022 (sessions 55-77), by country and income group (low income; lower middle income; upper middle income: high income). Authoritarian and lower income states vote more similarly to China than to high income countries.
