Over the past 10 years, foreign military presence has intensified in Niger. Six countries now have a military presence while NGOs are increasingly implementing countering violent extremism (CVE) programmes. Meanwhile, the international development community seeks to coordinate its efforts to achieve SDG16, including the promotion of legitimate institutions. However, its possible that the large amounts of aid funding currently being invested in developing legitimate institutions in Niger may be failing on two counts. One, programmes are aiming for a vision of legitimate authority that may not be aligned with Nigeriens' beliefs. Two, the growing discontent about the presence of foreign militaries in Niger may mean that the investment in building legitimate institutions is negated by the effects of increasing militarisation. Using a social constructivist approach to understanding legitimacy, I will carry out research to understand a) what constitutes legitimate authority in Niger; and b) whether the increasing militarisation is affecting perceptions of state legitimacy

过去十年来，外国军队在尼日尔的存在有所加强。目前有六个国家驻有军队，而非政府组织也越来越多地实施打击暴力极端主义 (CVE) 计划。与此同时，国际发展界寻求协调努力以实现可持续发展目标 16，包括促进合法机构。然而，目前投资于尼日尔发展合法机构的大量援助资金可能会在两个方面失败。第一，这些计划旨在实现合法权威的愿景，但这可能与尼日尔人的信仰不一致。第二，人们对尼日尔境内外国军队的存在日益不满，这可能意味着建立合法机构的投资会因日益军事化的影响而被抵消。使用社会建构主义方法来理解合法性，我将进行研究以了解a）什么构成尼日尔的合法权威； b) 日益增长的军事化是否正在影响人们对国家合法性的看法
