Public sentiment plays a crucial role in shaping foreign intervention decisions. When citizens express strong opinions about international issues, such as humanitarian crises or military conflicts, policymakers take notice. Public support can contribute to calls for intervention, while widespread opposition may deter government actions. Furthermore, sentiment can be influenced by media coverage and social movements, shaping the narratives policymakers address. Ultimately, a government’s responsiveness to public sentiment regarding foreign intervention reflects its political legitimacy and the degree to which it values democratic engagement in international affairs.
