Using datasets of hundreds of millions of Arabic language tweets, online and survey experiments, as well as more traditional data sources, this dissertation offers new theory and empirical insights into when and how elites exacerbate and mitigate intergroup conflict. Chapter 1 posits that while elites incite intergroup tension to garner support, they also run the risk of empowering extremist groups and fomenting domestic instability. Testing this theory using Saudi Twitter data, I find that while Saudi clerics and royal family members both instigate and spread derogatory rhetoric in the aftermath of foreign episodes of sectarian violence, they are less likely to do so following domestic anti-Shia mosque bombings. Chapter 2 demonstrates that despite their role in inciting conflict, elite actors are also uniquely positioned to combat prejudice. Using experimental evidence from a nationally representative survey experiment in Lebanon and an online experiment across the Arab Twittersphere, I show that messages priming common religious identity with endorsements from elites are particularly effective in reducing the spread of sectarian hate speech. Finally, Chapter 3 explores the relationship between network diversity-engaging with both Islamist and Secular elites-and political tolerance in post-coup Egypt. I find that greater network diversity is not only associated with lower levels of intolerance, but that spending an additional year in a diverse network results in a significant decrease in the use of intolerant rhetoric over time.
