Highlights
A growing number of anti-immigration protest and attacks against immigrants took place in European countries after the 2015 refugee crisis (ENAR, 2016)
The aim of our research is to develop a new theoretical composite index that supports policy makers in assessing immigration-related conflict risk at a regional level
The most recent are the European Commissions Global Conflict Risk Index (GCRI) (Halkia et al, 2020) and Uppsala Universitys research groups political violence early-warning system ViEWS (Hegre et al, 2019), which measure the likelihood of conflict on a national and/or subnational level
Summary
A growing number of anti-immigration protest and attacks against immigrants took place in European countries after the 2015 refugee crisis (ENAR, 2016). The most recent are the European Commissions Global Conflict Risk Index (GCRI) (Halkia et al, 2020) and Uppsala Universitys research groups political violence early-warning system ViEWS (Hegre et al, 2019), which measure the likelihood of conflict on a national and/or subnational level These indices are built to predict general conflict between at least two groups, our focus lies in immigration-related group conflict, which is unique in itself. The main contribution of our work is the ability to include individual level perception variables in the conflict index by using the data sourced from the three (2014 – 2018) waves of the ESS and national statistics database Both datasets allow us to collect data from the subnational level, where conflicts usually start and thrive. In this research phase, the data is limited to and tested in only one county, our argument and methodology has a broader scope
