2. Throughout this article, we refer frequently to the input of "local" residents, citizens, and groups. By this, we mean to distinguish between expatriates and those living in a region where peacekeeping efforts are under way. We have avoided the use of the term "national," as peacekeeping operations are sometimes deployed in areas that are not strictly defined as nations (e.g., Kosovo). Our definition of "local" residents encompasses people active in communities as well as those at the national level - people with a direct stake in the governance of the region where peacekeeping is taking place.
