Abstract

This article aims to explore the mediating influence of good governance on the relations between economic activity and Lebanese acceptance of Malaysian peacekeepers. While prior research has studied the relationship between economic activities and local acceptance, relatively few study has been conducted on the mediating impacts of good governance on this relationship, particularly in the Malaysian setting. The data came from 532 Lebanese people in Tebnine and Maarakeh districts. SmartPLS was used to analyse the proposed framework. The findings indicate that good governance mediated the relationship between economic activity and Lebanese acceptance of Malaysian peacekeepers. These findings will help the peacekeepers to assist the local people in increasing the economic output in their country and help reduce the pressure of food resources that are depleted.
