Published by Routledge, this book examines how the perception of legitimacy affects national policies and the global governance of drone warfare. As political officials often describe drone strikes as legitimate to maintain their use abroad, understanding the public's view is essential for scholars and policymakers. This text introduces an original middle-range theory designed to help practitioners understand how changing global patterns of drone warfare shape public sentiment. By analyzing these perceptions, the book demonstrates how they can moderate a country's drone policies. This is an important resource for anyone studying military history, air forces, or international relations.
