Abstract

This paper aims to compare the Economic Expression of National Power of permanent member countries and of potential candidates to occupy a seat, integrating the respective Regional Groups, as an influencing factor for the reform of the Security Council. The sample consisted of 55 countries, which were divided into groups: Permanent and Regional Members (African, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean and Western Europe and others). The Economic Expression was analyzed according to the indicators: National Material Capacities, Contribution to the regular budget of the United Nations and Gross Domestic Product. In order to verify the equality or difference between the mean values of the groups, the One Way ANOVA test was used and, sequentially, the Levene and Tukey tests. A significant difference was found between the groups, with the Permanent Members Group having higher average values, however, individually, candidate countries have economic indices similar to the permanent members, which may influence the perspective of Security Council reform.
