Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

How has Senegal’s benevolent secularism withstood challenges brought on by religious revival and political competition over the past quarter century? This chapter documents the role of religious-secular and interfaith partnerships in steering institutional change in Senegal during this period. Benevolent secularism has evolved in spite of political manipulation by the administration of former-President Wade and efforts from some to privilege portions of the Muslim community. The chapter traces secular evolution in areas like education policy and the crucial election of 2010. It traces elite alliances through field interviews, and then documents similar consensus in public opinion data.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
