“…Prior research in this area focuses on the influx of migrants from (1) Muslim-majority countries (given the rise and thus possible 'import' of religious-Islamist extremism) and (2) conflict-and terror-ridden countries (given the potential dangers of 'importing' foreign conflict). With regard to Muslim migration, both Forrester et al (2019) and Dreher, Gassebner, and Schaudt (2020) find that migration from Muslim-majority countries is not systematically associated with more terrorism in receiving countries. The evidence is somewhat more divided when it comes to the role of migration from conflict-ridden states.…”

This article provides an overview of the literature on the relationship between terrorism and migration. It discusses whether and how (1) migration may be a cause of terrorism, (2) terrorism may influence natives' attitudes towards immigration and their electoral preferences and (3) terrorism may lead to more restrictive migration policies and how these in turn may serve as effective counter-terrorism tools. A review of the empirical literature on the migration–terrorism nexus indicates that (1) there is little evidence that more migration unconditionally leads to more terrorist activity, especially in Western countries, (2) terrorism has electoral and political (but sometimes short-lived) ramifications, for example, as terrorism promotes anti-immigrant resentment and (3) the effectiveness of stricter migration policies in deterring terrorism is rather limited, while terrorist attacks lead to more restrictive migration policies.

“…This phenomenon increases when the escalation of Muslim immigrants take parts in economic spaces when stereotypes of terrorism are pinned to Islam. 47 The highlight of this research is that Bali, especially Denpasar as the capital of Bali Province, can withstand the pressure of the majority of the Hindus as an endemic victim of terrorism by the accused Muslim subjects, and to rebuild tolerance and moderation in unity through the relations built by these two religions after the bombing.…”

Abstract: The Bali bombing around two decades ago has caused deep traumatic events in the world, not only psychological, socioeconomic, and multinational effects, but also serious impacts on the relationship between the two religions: Islam and Hindusm. This study documents how Muslims as a minority group in Bali attempted to survive amidst the Hindu majority and how these two ethnic-religious groups maintain harmonious relationship after the Bali Bombing incident. This study uses a case study methods with an interpretive paradigm and qualitative approach, the aim is to shows that social pressure and discrimination has not harm the relationship between the two in that the Muslim and Hindus cooperate in the economic sector and strengthen the relationship with kinship and marriage. This effort is a way for the Muslim-Hindus to rebuild the moderation of unity which was collapsed in Bali.Keywords: Muslim-Hindus, Bali, majority-minority, relations

“…However, public discourse links fewer controls with increased risks of crime and terrorism. 2 Analysing a two-decade long period from 1995 until 2015, Forrester et al, 2019 found no evidence for such a nexus although these concerns may matter for public opinion.…”

After three decades of European integration, during which border controls seemed like a relic from the past, the refugee crisis and Brexit have brought the issue to the centre of public debate. Existing research points towards the relevance of collective identity for attitude formation in the field of high politics, but has so far not answered the question of how far collective identities explain support for different intra‐EU border regimes. My article closes this gap. It is based on an original representative EU‐wide survey from 2017 (N = 10,827), which analyses the nexus between border regime support, identity and migration experience, as well as contextual factors like immigration rates. Support for Schengen membership is significantly stronger among respondents with a European identity than those identifying exclusively with their nation‐state. These findings suggest that the endorsement of open borders and further integration in this policy area is strongly dependent on an inclusive European collective identity.
