| dc.description.abstract | This study researches how the Dutch government legitimised their contribution to the UN mission MINUSMA between 2013 and 2019. Using a discourse analysis, documents that were published by the Dutch government, within the time frame and regarding their contribution to MINUSMA, were analysed. The results indicate that the Dutch government mainly uses three frames. They frame Mali as ´Europe´s southern border, a border they need to protect to prevent migrants from crossing. By linking migration with terrorism they securitize migration. Hence why they feel the need to intervene, as these frames can be related to overall goals. However, the goals that are set are not in synchronisation with the mandate that has been set for MINUSMA by the United Nations. Thereby the Dutch Government is contributing to the process of peacebuilding and counterterrorism blurring together. | |
