| Summary/Abstract |
A push for evidence-based approaches to the study of politics, dubbed the ‘credibility revolution’, has resulted in a proliferation of experiments and randomized control trials (RCTs) in Africa. The current emphasis on the strength of the experimental method has vast ramifications for our understanding of political phenomena and real-world realities faced by local populations. Yet, very little work focuses on the practical challenges that may arise if and when researchers and students decide to use this method.
