Vengeance or Hope? A Role-Based Analysis of Hashtag Activism for the War in Gaza
Using cross-lingual international X trends data and a unique role-based analytical framework well-suited for the study of granular textual data, this study examines the partisan and spatial distribution of political rhetoric in hashtag activism about the Gaza War in its early phase. Following a triadic classificatory rubric of roles composed of victim-villain-hero, I find that pro-Palestine hashtag activism was overwhelmingly focused on victimhoo…
Fighting over nation or state
We recognise nationalist and centre‐seeking ethnic civil wars as distinct types of conflict and draw on key ideas from political sociology to make hypotheses about the causes of each. First, we argue that the character of states shapes antistate actors in ways that channel ethnic conflict in different ways, with pluralist states promoting nationalist warfare but integrative states contributing to centre‐seeking civil war. Second, we propose that …
When to Use Counterfactuals in Causal Historiography
According to the interventionist framework of actual causality, causal claims in history are ultimately claims about special types of functional dependencies between variables, which consist not only of actual events but also of corresponding counterfactual states of affairs. Instead of advocating the methodological use of counterfactuals tout court, we propose specific circumstances in historical writing where counterfactual reasoning comes in m…
Epistemic Diversity and Epistemic Advantage
Feminist epistemology aims to propose epistemic reasons for increasing the representation of women or socially subordinated people in science. This is typically done—albeit often only implicitly—by positing a causal mechanism through which the representation of sociodemographic minorities exerts a positive effect on scientific advancement. Two types of causal theories can be identified. The “epistemic diversity thesis” presents a causal path from…
Ethnic empowering policies and postcolonial political exclusion in the British empire
Does ethnic empowerment under colonial rule shape ethnic power even after independence? Existing research offers mixed arguments and rarely differentiates between different types of political empowerment. Drawing on the historical observation that the parliament and the security forces were two of the major sources of political power in newly independent states, this preregistered study tests whether ethnic representation in the colonial constabu…
Community‐based legislative representation and postcolonial ethnic civil warfare in former British and French colonies
Recent research argued that the colonial policy of community‐based representation in the legislative assembly strongly increases the risk of postcolonial ethnic warfare in former British and French colonies. This paper delves deeper into the relationship by using an updated dataset that codes the receipt or non‐receipt of communal representation for nearly all ethnic groups in former British and French colonies. The results confirm the war‐induci…
Contextual fallacy in MLMs with cross-level interaction
A tale of two empires
Since colonial times, many have argued that British and French colonial rule differed in fundamental ways, and recent works exploring colonial legacies build on these claims to suggest that different forms of rule promoted contrasting postcolonial outcomes. Yet many historians and sociologists argue that claims of interimperial differences are inaccurate, overlook important similarities among British and French colonies, and overstate the influen…
Communalizing Colonial Policies and Postcolonial Ethnic Warfare
"Cutting Off the Branch on Which We Are Sitting? On Postpositivism, Value Neutrality, and the "Bias Paradox
The colonial origins of ethnic warfare
Communalizing colonial policies (CCPs) include a variety of practices that recognize and institutionalize communal difference among colonized populations, and several qualitative analyses find that they promoted postcolonial ethnic conflict. In contrast, the few quantitative analyses that explore this issue focus on several mechanisms, make conflicting claims, and provide mixed results, thereby suggesting that CCPs do not have general effects. Ye…
Communalizing Colonial Policies and Postcolonial Ethnic Warfare
In this article, we reorient the literature on colonialism and ethnic violence by exploring how different types of communalizing colonial policy (CCP) affected postcolonial patterns of ethnic warfare. We hypothesize that CCPs have limited or mixed effects when they simply recognize or empower communities but that they promote ethnic warfare when explicitly favoring some communities over others, especially when this discrimination affects the powe…
