Abstract: This article examines how local populations in conflict-affected countries perceive foreign military interventions, focusing on Mali. While existing research has largely assessed peacekeeping from a supply-side perspective, this study centres on the preferences and perceptions of local communities. Moreover, we broaden the scope beyond United Nations (UN) missions to include regional organizations and individual states, both Western and non-Western.
