  abstract = {{T}his paper studies the effects of armed conflict on social capital in {M}ali, where a violent conflict has been raging since 2012. {W}e examine the conflict's impacts on associational membership using event location data and unique survey data on governance, peace and security ({GPS}-{SH}a{SA}). {W}e show that, in conflict-exposed areas, adult involvement in associations increases from 7 to 14 percentage points. {I}nstrumental variable and difference-in-differences strategies complementary mitigate reverse causation and omitted variable biases as estimated results remain very consistent. {R}obust estimations constrained to non-migrants samples also rule out selection into migration. {Y}et this result, consistent with the argument that armed conflict cultivates social engagement, is not a positive outcome in the case of {M}ali. {T}he increase is observed solely for family and political associations, which are comparatively inward-looking and act as interest groups. {W}e interpret this finding as a form of withdrawal behind group or community boundaries, an interpretation supported by further analysis of interpersonal trust. {T}his sort of withdrawal may exacerbate ethnic divisions and deepen the conflict.},
