    * African Borders as Sources of Natural Experiments Daniel N. Posner Department of Political Science University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 90095-1472 [email protected] This version: 12 February 2006 * Paper prepared for presentation in the Colloquium Series of the Yale Program in Agrarian Studies, 17 February 2006. I thank John McCauley for sharing his data on religious identification along the Côte d’Ivoire-Burkina Faso border and Anoop Sarbahi for his help assembling the GPCP rainfall data. The arbitrary nature of Africa’s borders is well known.1 Less well recognized is the opportunity that these arbitrary borders provide for social science research. This paper describes some of the shortcomings of traditional, observational studies and shows how natural experiments can provide for more reliable inferences about causality. The paper then draws on examples from three different projects to illustrate how the artificial nature of Africa’s borders can be used as a source of natural experiments. The Quest for Causal Inferences in Social Science Research In the social sciences, researchers typically make causal inferences through observational studies. These are analyses where the variables that the researcher is studying acquire their values through the unfolding of real-world events that are outside the researcher’s control (Collier et al 2004). The problem with observational studies is that they make it difficult or impossible to rule out the possibility that other, unmeasured variables may be the cause of the observed relationship between the variables of interest. Suppose, for example, we are interested in the linkage between smoking and cancer.

    SPIRITED THINGS: Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic

    SPIRITED THINGS: Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE 2 SPIRITED THINGS INTRODUCTION he ruthless triangular trade that flourished between the continents of Europe, Africa, and the Americas T brought millions of enslaved Africans to the Americas, where African priests—assimilating some of the practices and beliefs of the radically new cultures they encountered—gradually adapted their ancestral religions to their people’s new and dire circumstances. The Afro-Atlantic religions are products of Africans’ long-running cosmopolitanism, and represent a complex, syncretic response to the tragic beginnings of globalization. This exhibition explores a family of religions that emerged from the centuries-long turmoil and diaspora of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE 3 4 SPIRITED THINGS SPIRITED THINGS: Spirited Things explores a family of religions that evolved in the context SACRED ARTS OF of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. At its root are the ancestors of the Yorùbá people and their gods, called òrìṣà (in Yorùbá), orichas (Spanish), orixás THE BLACK ATLANTIC (Portuguese), or orishas (English). West African monarchs and merchants invoked the òrìṣà in rituals of healing and for the protection of their interests in the coastal trade with their European counterparts. Later, West Africans enslaved in the Caribbean and South America adapted these same gods to their own, more existential needs of mutual assistance, healing, and spiritual uplift, often in defiance of their captors’ attempts to suppress their ancestral traditions. They disguised and amplified their continued worship of African gods by combining them with similar Roman Catholic saints and indigenous spirits. This blending of African, European, and Native American iconography and practices is a hallmark of the religions of the African diaspora, which include Haitian Vodou, Cuban Santería (also called Regla de Ocha), Brazilian Candomblé, and Caribbean Spiritism.

    B.J.Pol.S. 49, 421–441 Copyright © Cambridge University Press, 2017 doi:10.1017/S0007123416000594 First published online 8 March 2017 The Political Sources of Religious Identification: Evidence from the Burkina Faso–Côte d’Ivoire Border JOHN F. MCCAULEY AND DANIEL N. POSNER* Under what conditions does religion become a salient social identity? By measuring religious attachment among the people living astride the Burkina Faso–Côte d’Ivoire border in West Africa, an arbitrary boundary that exposes otherwise similar individuals to different political contexts, this article makes a case for the importance of the political environment in affecting the weight that people attach to their religious identities. After ruling out explanations rooted in the proportion of different religious denominations, the degree of secularization and the supply of religious institutions on either side of the border, as well as differences in the degree of religious pluralism at the national level, it highlights the greater exposure of Ivorian respondents to the politicization of religion during Côte d’Ivoire’s recent civil conflict. Methodologically, the study demonstrates the power – and challenges – of exploiting Africa’s arbitrary borders as a source of causal leverage. Keywords: arbitrary borders; natural experiment; religion; Côte d’Ivoire; Burkina Faso; conflict; identities An estimated 85 per cent of the world’s population claims membership in a religious group.1 Yet the importance that people attach to their religious identity varies considerably. For some, religion is the defining characteristic of who they are; their politics and perspectives on the world are inextricably bound up in their faith. For others, religious group membership is merely one social attachment among many; their attitudes and behavior are little affected by their religious affiliation.
