The ongoing Middle East conflict has rejuvenated attention towards Lebanon. Scrutiny is growing on labor conditions, safety, and wellbeing of migrant workers.

This week's article delves deep into the Kafala sponsorship system and the experience of Sri Lankan domestic workers.

In @apsrjournal.bsky.social, @jackpaine.bsky.social, Xiaoyan Qiu, and @ricarthuguet.bsky.social show that new spatial and historical data call into question the claim that European nations imposed arbitrary and exogenous borders on African states.
We revise the conventional wisdom that Africa’s international borders were drawn arbitrarily. Europeans knew very little about most of Africa in the mid-1880s, but their self-interested goals of amassing territory prompted intensive examination of on-the-ground conditions as they formed borders. Europeans negotiated with African rulers to secure treaties and to learn about historical state frontiers, which enabled Africans to influence the border-formation process. Major water bodies, which shaped precolonial civilizations and trade, also served as focal points. We find support for these new theoretical implications using two original datasets. Quantitatively, we analyze border-location correlates using grid cells and an original spatial dataset on precolonial states. Qualitatively, we compiled information from treaties and diplomatic histories to code causal process observations for every bilateral border. Historical political frontiers directly affected 62% of all bilateral borders. Water bodies, often major ones, comprised the primary border feature much more frequently than straight lines.
