Surveys in Communities Divided by Ethnicity and Conflict
This article details the challenges we faced in collecting sensitive information in an ethnically and religiously divided community that has experienced recent violence. The discussion is based on a summer 2016 survey experiment we conducted in Jos, Nigeria, to gather information regarding residents' perceptions of local communal violence. We discuss the challenges of such research and our approach to randomized sampling, constructing treatments …
Ethnicities and Conflict
Where ethnic violence divides groups by both religious and tribal affiliation, how does the ‘ethnic’ characterization of conflict affect perceptions of the crises? From a survey experiment in Jos, Nigeria, we find that priming respondents with religious versus tribal conflict frames leads respondents to differently interpret the causes of violence, with religious issues viewed as the most salient cause of violence and religion the most important …
Perceptions of Local versus National Factors in Religious and Tribal Conflict
Does the ethnic dimension of violence—religious versus tribal—shape whether individuals perceive national versus local issues as central? Based on survey data collected in Jos, Nigeria—a site of recurring ethnic violence since 2001—this paper argues that attribution to local versus national causes varies depending on whether individuals perceive the violence as religious or tribal. We also show that this has implications for peacebuilding, as vie…
Disaggregating Ethnicity and Conflict Patterns
This paper argues that a conflict’s association with religious identity can distinctly shape the pattern of inter-group ethnic violence. Drawing on an original dataset of ethnic violence in northern Nigeria spanning 30 years, the paper finds that religious and tribal communal clashes are associated with distinct precipitants and patterns of violence due to religion’s malleability and dynamism, as well as its ‘transcendent’ allegiance. The paper c…
Religion, Violence, and Local Power-Sharing in Nigeria
Why does religion become a fault line of communal violence in some pluralistic countries and not others? Under what conditions will religious identity - as opposed to other salient ethnic cleavages - become the spark that ignites communal violence? Contemporary world politics since 9/11 is increasingly marked by intra-state communal clashes in which religious identity is the main fault line. Yet, violence erupts only in some religiously pluralist…
Local power-sharing institutions and interreligious violence in Nigeria
News reports of clashes between Muslims and Christians in countries such as Nigeria are increasingly common. Yet, interreligious violence erupts only in some communities but not others. Under what conditions does religious identity become the fault line of communal violence? We argue that informal power-sharing institutions on the communal level are essential in shaping the incentives of potential perpetrators. We provide both qualitative and qua…
