Group multilateralism involving big powers plays an increasing role in dealing with specific problems: the Six Party Talks on North Korea’s nuclear program; the Quartet of UN, Russia, US and EU trying to promote the peace process among Israelis and Palestinians; the EU Three (Britain, France and Germany), backed by the US and consulting with Russia attempting to induce Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons program. In all three cases countries other than the big powers take part as well, and in each case the US plays a decisive role (and could even more so in the Iran case, if it were to give up its refusal to deal directly with Teheran). The cases of the Quartet and the EU Three are still pending, the Six Party Talks have at least achieved a first breakthrough, though not yet the definite and controlled abandonment of North Korea’s nuclear weapons.
