Abstract: By offering a comprehensive insight into the burden sharing behavior of states contributing to the MINUSMA peacekeeping mission, this paper contributes to the growing literature on burden sharing during specific crisis response operations. Three fairness principles (i.e. equality, equity and exemption) are applied to present an inclusive view on how burden sharing evolves. We find proximity to serve as a paramount motivation to contribute to the mission. As compared to advanced states, low income developing countries both deployed most troops to MINUSMA and were overrepresented in Mali’s most dangerous areas. The highest troop contributing countries have been compensated financially and advanced economies provided the financial and technical means.
