Dissertation

Title: Political reaction to Immigration

in EU Municipalities

Abstract: My research addresses the issue

of political reaction to immigration in European cities. My

thesis approaches the issue at the municipal level because

the city is the environment that contains most of the

contexts in which citizens exchange political opinions and

where they see first hand the effects of demographic change

from immigration.

My thesis addresses the following questions: how do

citizens react politically to immigration? Are all cities

the same in their reaction to migrants? Are all migrants

the same as far as provoking a political reaction? Which

groups make a difference? Where? To answer these questions,

I use as dependent variables electoral performance of

anti-migrant parties in Italy and

Austria, and Best Value Performance

Indicator survey results in the UK. I

found considerable cross-municipal and cross-regional

variation in the political reaction to migrants in my case

studies. I also found that migrants of specific ethnic

groups and nationalities are more likely to provoke a

political reaction in the cities they move in. This finding

varies considerably across countries, region, and

municipalities.
