Abstract

[This chapter deals with Operation Serval in Mali, France’s largest foreign intervention since the Algerian War. It begins with an overview of the political and security situation in Mali on the eve of the French intervention. The remaining sections analyze the different stages of the decision-making process leading up to Operation Serval starting from the inclusion of the Malian crisis on the French security agenda, to the framing and diffusion of a common security narrative, and the final decision. Together, these sections show how and why, in the course of the decision-making process, the problem solution shifted from “supporting a multilateral peacekeeping force” to a “unilateral intervention in the name of the international community.” Each section sheds light on the actors’ mental maps and the ideational variables that informed the decision-making process throughout.]
