Looking for Individual-Level Evidence for the Ethnic Security Dilemma Revisited: A Study of Balochistan
Support for Domestic Islamist Terrorism in Bangladesh: Insights from a Novel Survey
We employ regression analysis of 2017 survey data from 4,067 Bangladeshis to exposit the lineaments of individual support for domestic Islamist violence. Our dependent variables derive from measures of public support for the stated goals and violent means of three Bangladeshi Islamist terrorist groups. Our study variables include participation in communal Friday prayer; indexed measures of other pietic practices; preferences for Shari'a and secul…
Barriers to Covenantal Pluralism in Bangladeshi Public Opinion
In this paper, we explore Bangladeshi popular support for “covenantal pluralism,” a philosophy developed by the Covenantal Pluralism Initiative at the Templeton Religion Trust. We use a novel dataset derived from a 2017 nationally representative survey of Bangladeshi respondents which included numerous survey items germane to this study. Unfortunately, while Bangladesh may most certainly benefit from such a concept, we find little empirical evide…
Did India's demonetization policy curb stone-pelting in Indian-administered Kashmir
On 9 November 2016, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced his ‘demonetization’ policy which rendered all Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes null and void. His government claimed that this policy, among other things, would curb stone-pelting in India’s restive Jammu and Kashmir by rendering valueless the copious illegal currency that, according to India, Pakistan pumped into the state to pay protestors to throw stones. Subsequently, New Delhi cla…
Rational Islamists: Islamism and regime preferences in Bangladesh
Scholars have long studied whether Islam is compatible with democracy. Quantitative analyses of survey data of Muslim polities have drawn from three broad theoretical and epistemological frameworks: civilizationalist or culturist; modernizationist, and rational choice. In this article, we contribute to this discussion by drawing from survey data from an important but under-studied country: Bangladesh. We use respondent-level data from a novel, na…
Explaining Why Some Muslims Support Islamist Political Violence
PUBLIC OPINION RESEARCH evidences considerable but varied support for Islamist terrorist tactics among the world’s Muslim populations. According to 2014 data from the Pew Research Center, 47 percent and 46 percent of Bangladeshi and Lebanese respondents, respectively, approved of suicide bombing, compared with only 5 percent and 3 percent of Tunisian and Pakistani respondents, respectively.1 This support is theoretically and practically important…
Correct Voting Across Thirty-Three Democracies: A Preliminary Analysis
This article extends Lau and Redlawsk's notion ofcorrect voting– whether voters, under conditions of uncertainty, choose the alternative they would have chosen had they been fully informed about the issues and candidates in that election – to sixty-nine elections in thirty-three established and emerging democracies around the world. At the individual level, political sophistication, political experience and motivation all significantly predict th…
