Increasingly, ethnic and religious variables are taken into account
to explain conflict and relations between nations. However, ethnic
and religious groups exist beyond the confines of frontiers. In
Africa, for example, hundreds of ethnic groups were divided by
colonial borders, and many retained kinship connections to their
brethren in other countries, thus creating "cross-border
ethnic/religious affinity." Such cross-border connections affect a
variety of foreign policy, from diplomacy to the use of force. An
internal problem can spread to other states, or external actors can
become involved in domestic disputes due to such factors. Therefore
data on cross-border connections are essential to measure and
assess their actual or potential effects on foreign policy or
conflict. This unique resource provides a detailed account of
cross-border ethnic and religious affinities that will serve both
qualitative and quantitative researchers. For ease of use, it is
divided in sections for each region of world, with the entries
organized by pairs of contiguous countries. Each entry for a pair
of countries briefly discusses the various ethnic and religious
groups living in each country, what groups are common to both
countries, the historical connections between groups, how they
interact with each other, and their impact on diplomacy and
conflict. These entries are organized based on the Correlates of
War (COW) country codes. These are widely used by researchers and
allow for dyads to be organized geographically within each section
to facilitate finding data.
