【タイトル】A Backlash to International Refugee Law: Evidence from Survey Experiment in Turkey and the United States
【要旨】
How do international laws and norms affect citizens’ willingness to accept refugees? In full and
partial democracies, citizens’ attitudes can influence national policy on refugees across several
dimensions: whether and how many the country accepts, and how they are treated once they arrive.
And a growing literature suggests international institutions can influence these citizen attitudes on
different foreign policy questions, but those studies are almost entirely confined to U.S.- based
respondents, and none consider refugee policy. Using a survey experiment administered in
September 2017 via 1335 face-to-face interviews with Turkish citizens, we investigate how different
international norms affect citizens’ willingness to accept refugees. Our findings are surprising:
reminding people about the government’s responsibility under the Refugee Convention to accept
refugees decreases support for accepting them. This effect is driven by less educated respondents
and those who support the nationalist-populist incumbent party. We replicate this result in
independent work in the United States. Taken together, our results suggest that international
refugee law in particular — and perhaps international institutions generally — can sometimes trigger
political backlash that undermines the very policies they promote.
