Refugees, perceived threat & domestic terrorism/ Graig R. Klein

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2024Subject(s): Online resources: In: Studies in Conflict and Terrorism: Volume 47, Number 6, June 2024, pages: 668-699Summary: Refugees’ effect on domestic terrorism is conditioned by host-country social perception (attitude about living next-door to foreigners) and economic competition. These hypotheses are tested cross-nationally from 1995-2014 leveraging data from the World Values Survey. The results show social perception matters. When refugee flow to a country increases from the mean to 75th percentile, it does not statistically alter domestic terrorism risk. But when a host-country’s preference to not live next-door to foreigners is accounted for and changes from the mean (20.9%) to 75th percentile (30.3%), the change in refugee flow increases the risk of domestic terrorism by 40%.
