Birleşmiş Milletler, uluslararası bir örgütün tanımlaması yapılırken ya da liberal düzenin bileşenleri tartışılırken örnek gösterilir. Yapılan bu atıf, örgütün hem büyüklük ve etki alanı hem de anlaşmazlıkları çözme ve barış ve güvenliği sağlamadaki kilit rollerinden kaynaklı yapılmaktadır. Dış politika bağlamında değerlendirildiğinde, bahsi geçen sorumluluklar kalıcı barış temelli strateji ve taktiklerin Birleşmiş Milletler adına etkili bir biçimde uygulanması için liderlerin varlığını gerekli kılar. Bu bağlamda, geleneksel zihin yapısı Genel Sekreterleri bahsi geçen hususların sağlanması konusunda asıl sorumlular olarak gösterir. Onların stratejik kültürünü ortaya koymak Birleşmiş Milletler’in barışı sağlama konusundaki eğilimlerini anlamamızı sağlayacaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, otomatik içerik analiz metodu kullanılarak Genel Sekreterlerin analizleri yapılmıştır. Nicel analiz okuyucuya nitel çözümleme yöntemlerinin ötesinde bir yardım sağlayarak, okuyucunun Genel Sekreterlerin dış politika tercihlerinde liberal zihin yapısının ne derece var olduğunu ve bahsi geçen zihin yapısının barış ve güvenliği sağlama konusunda ne derece rol oynadığını görmesini sağlayacaktır.
