Notes

Abstract: Previous studies have explored the meaning of legitimacy, various reasons for military intervention, and how legitimacy and military intervention relate at the extreme in the form of coups d’état, but they have failed to capture the individual-level mechanism that links a low perception of legitimacy to the desire for military intervention. This study argues that legitimacy plays a significant role in the desire for military intervention. The empirical analysis of survey data will test the notion that when the perception of legitimacy is lower, the desire for military intervention will be higher. A mixed effects ordered logistic regression of the World Values Survey containing 87 countries and over 256,000 individual responses from 1981-2009 will be used to examine the relationship between legitimacy and the desire for military intervention. Of the five established dimensions of legitimacy (political community, regime principles, regime institutions, regime performance, and political actors), two (political community and regime principles) were negative and significant as expected. However, the remaining three (regime institutions, regime performance, and political actors) were significant but positive. The empirical findings indicate that when these two dimensions of legitimacy are lower, the desire for military intervention will be higher. The unexpected results regarding the latter three dimensions overturn conventional scholarly thinking regarding legitimacy and military intervention.
