Abstract
Previous research has indicated that foreign military bases harm states and its residents. The thesis paper seeks further evidence for military bases’ consequences on residents' perceived safety in Niger. The study aims to investigate the impact states with no previous presence of foreign military bases are affected by newly implemented bases. The results are based on a regression on geospatial data and additionally qualitative research to analyze the results. The linear regression regress independent variable, position of foreign military bases, with the dependent variable, the residents’ perceived safety. The study finds a negative statistical relationship between the military bases and the residents'
perceived safety in Niger,... (More)
Previous research has indicated that foreign military bases harm states and its residents. The thesis paper seeks further evidence for military bases’ consequences on residents' perceived safety in Niger. The study aims to investigate the impact states with no previous presence of foreign military bases are affected by newly implemented bases. The results are based on a regression on geospatial data and additionally qualitative research to analyze the results. The linear regression regress independent variable, position of foreign military bases, with the dependent variable, the residents’ perceived safety. The study finds a negative statistical relationship between the military bases and the residents'
perceived safety in Niger, considering geographical distance. The study does not seek the causal mechanism that military bases have on Nigers residents, yet it indicates that foreign military bases have had a harm on the residents of Niger in the recent decade. The study acknowledges the predominantly negative consequences that foreign military bases have on a state’s citizen, as argued by previous scholars. (Less)
