This study examines the variation in the form of intervention in the Middle East and North Africa during the Obama administration. The four cases - Libya 2011, Mali 2013, Syria 2013, and ISIS 2014, share similar characteristics, yet the form of intervention in each case differed, which is puzzling. I used mixed methods - risk assessment and process tracing - to determine the objective and subjective threats in each case according to offensive realism compared with cognitive factors as defined by Miriam Steiner. I then examined three variants that motivated the decision process: following a pragmatic approach, a humanitarian norm of protecting civilians, and adhering to a democratic norm to include Congress in the decision-making process. By following the timeline of events leading up to the decision - including how the Principles Committee of the National Security Council discussed and framed the threat - I was able to determine that the form of intervention chosen was dependent on which approach Obama followed. When he was emotionally moved by gross violations of human rights, he used a greater form of intervention in these cases. Additionally, there is evidence of policy learning, where Obama learned from and adjusted U.S. behavior based on the successes and failures of his previous policies as well as his predecessors.
