Abstract
ABSTRACT This article argues that states’ intention to support peacekeeping efforts is essential to legitimize their participation in peacekeeping operations (PKOs). Moreover, while such a condition positively influences troop performance, particularistic reasons do not motivate soldiers for critical tasks. The topic is explored through theoretical considerations on legitimacy in peacekeeping, a critical analysis of states’ reasons for joining PKOs, and an examination of Brazilian and German peacekeeping experiences in Haiti and the Balkans as a case study. The research contributes significantly to the literature by unravelling the interplay between the intentions of troop contributors and the effectiveness of their peacekeepers.
