REFUGEE INCLUSION AND HOST-REFUGEE COOPERATION IN UGANDA (INCLUDE-U)
REFNo: SS4794ES
This project aims to make four key contributions to the study of forced migration, refugee integration, and out-group discrimination.
First, we provide a framework for linking institutional and social-psychological approaches to the study of forced migration. Whereas existing studies focus either on broad structural factors or individual-level variables, this project bridges these two perspectives, with the aim of demonstrating how behaviors and attitudes are conditioned by local institutions that shape perceived power and agency.
Second, while a few studies examine the role of threat in exacerbating out-group bias (e.g., Hall and Kahn, 2020), far fewer focus on alternative psychological mechanisms that might counter more anti-social behaviors. This project fills an important gap by examining the role of agency in facilitating altruistic and cooperative behavior toward refugees.
Third, while land is central to the livelihoods of nearly a third of the world’s population, and while struggles over land are a ubiquitous theme in contentious politics (Boone 2014; Klaus 2020), scholarship on forced migration and immigrant inclusion largely overlooks the role of land. By contrast, we place distributional questions over land (and other natural resources) at the center of scholarship on refugee inclusion.
Fourth, while many studies examine refugee inclusion in wealthy countries, poorer countries host the majority of the world’s refugee population (Alrababa’h, et al., 2020). By focusing on Uganda, the project aims to contribute to a smaller set of studies focusing on the Global South, where there tends to be a greater sense of shared culture and experience with violence between hosts and refugees, alongside significant resource scarcity and weak welfare-provisioning states. In addition, whereas most studies focus on refugees as their primary research subjects, our study focuses on the attitudes and behaviors of hosting communities.
Fifth, this project is methodologically innovative in that it uses a micro-comparative research design combining three key research strategies. First, we use qualitative interviews and focus groups with hosts and refugees as an initial inductive stage, enabling us to sharpen our hypotheses while strengthening our insights into possible causal mechanisms. Second, we conduct a household-level survey with refugee-hosting communities that enables us to observationally measure key variables of interest. Moreover, our survey sampling strategy, which exploits district-level boundaries that separate refugee-hosting from non-hosting districts, enables us to make stronger claims about how improved access to aid conditions inclusionary behavior. Third, we conduct a lab-in-the-field experiment –embedded in the survey –that enables us to observe altruism and trust between host and refugees in an experimental setting. The combination of qualitative, survey, and experimental data provides a rigorous means of building and testing our theory, allowing us to generalize beyond the specifics of host-refugee relations in Uganda.
