“…It seems fruitful to investigate those contextual factors qualitatively, social constellations, and regional specifics that facilitate a climate of hate in identified risk areas to draw conclusions on how to strengthen community resilience against extreme right-wing behavior. Methodically, some studies already follow this approach, taking closer looks at intergroup relations on a small-scale level (Bynner, 2017) or at the “normalization” of anti-refugee sentiments in everyday life of a medium sized town (Kurtenbach, 2018).…”

Since 2015, far right parties drawing heavily on radical anti-refugee rhetoric gained electoral support in Germany while the number of political hate crimes targeting refugees rose. Both phenomena – far right electoral support and prevalence of right-wing hate crimes – have theoretically and empirically been linked with socio-structural and contextual variables. However, systematic empirical research on these links is scattered and scarce at best. We combine official statistics on political hate crimes targeting refugees in Germany and far right electoral support of the far right party “Alternative für Deutschland” (AfD) in the German national elections 2017 with socio-structural variables (proportion of foreigners and unemployment rate) and survey data collected in a representative survey (N = 1,506) in 2016. We aggregate and combine data for all German municipalities except Berlin which were the level of analysis for the current study. In path analyses, we find socio-structural variables to be unrelated with each other but significantly correlated with both criterion variables in a systematic fashion: proportion of foreigners was negatively while unemployment rate was positively linked with far right electoral support. Right-wing crime was linked positively with unemployment rate across Germany and positively with proportion of foreigners only in East Germany while proportion of foreigners was unrelated to right-wing crime in West Germany. When including survey measures into the model, they were linked with socio-structural variables in the predicted fashion – intergroup contact correlated positively with proportion of foreigners, collective deprivation correlated positively with unemployment rates, and both predicted extreme right-wing attitudes. However, their contribution to the explained variance in outcome variables above and beyond socio-structural variables was neglectable. We argue that both far right-wing electoral support and right-wing hate crime can be conceptualized as behavioral forms of political extremism shaped through socio-structural and contextual factors and discuss implications for preventing political extremism.

“…Amin (2002) and Walton and Hardebeck (2016) suggest the need for more proactive measures to encourage meaningful inter-ethnic contact rather than simply sharing residential space. Robinson (2005) warns that residential integration does not necessarily lead to social interaction, and that certain conditions are required in the nature of the contact before attitudinal changes take place (see also Bynner, 2019). Karner and Parker (2011) reveal the complexities of interactions, conflicts, and (positive) experiences in a diverse neighbourhood in Birmingham.…”

The evolution and stability of multi‐ethnic residential neighbourhoods in England

This paper analyses the most ethnically diverse spaces in England. We define multi-ethnic neighbourhoods as spaces where no one group is in a majority and at least five ethnic groups have representation. Around 4% of all English neighbourhoods (Lower Layer Super Output Areas) met these criteria in 2011. Often mislabelled as "segregated" spaces, the growth of ethnically diverse neighbourhoods helps benchmark increased inter-ethnic contact, yet we know very little about their spatial extent and the dynamics of their expansion. We use Census data for 1991, 2001, and 2011 to consider how neighbourhood-level diversity has changed during a period of substantial increase in ethnic diversity at the national scale. To what extent did these highly diverse areas grow, and what is the geography of that growth? Which types of areas did these neighbourhoods transition from? For example, were multi-ethnic neighbourhoods formerly low or moderately diverse, and which groups dominated these locales? We also consider if multi-ethnic neighbourhoods are here to stay, or if they are compositionally unstable. We reveal a surprising aspect in England's neighbourhood transitions: multi-ethnic neighbourhoods are highly stable, and increasingly so. Some 88% of neighbourhoods that were multi-ethnic in 1991 retained their high-diversity status in 2001, while over 95% of 2001 multi-ethnic neighbourhoods remained highly diverse by 2011. This is a different story to that of the USA, where high-diversity neighbourhoods have received more scholarly attention, and where these neighbourhoods have high attrition rates, functioning as stepping stones to another type of space. We explore the demographic and housing dynamics associated with this stability.

Karma nitelikli uluslararası göç ile hareket eden kişilerin kentsel alanlarda yaşamayı tercih etmesi, barınma deneyimleri açısından kentlerde farklı sorunların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. 2011 yılından itibaren yoğun bir şekilde Suriye'den zorunlu göçle Türkiye'ye gelen kişilerin kentlerdeki varlığı, bu kişilerin barınma deneyimlerinin Türkiye özelinde incelenmesi gerekliliğini belirginleştirmiştir. Özellikle bu deneyimlerinin toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum süreçlerine etkisine ilişkin çalışma ve uygulamaların bilimsel olarak değerlendirilmesinin önemi giderek artmıştır. Bu öneme karşın, Türkiye'de bu konuya ilişkin çalışmaların sayısı oldukça azdır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'ye zorunlu göçle gelenlerin barınma deneyimleri ile toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum süreçleri arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyerek, bilimsel çalışmalardaki söz konusu eksikliği gidermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, ilgili ulusal ve uluslararası yazın incelenerek birey merkezli bakış açısıyla konutun, toplumsal bütünleşme ve sosyal uyum bağlamında anlamı ve etkisi, özgün bir biçimde fiziksel, sosyo-psikolojik ve mekânsal boyut olmak üzere üç boyutla sınıflandırılmıştır. Türkiye'deki zorunlu göçle gelenlerin barınma deneyimini anlayabilmek ve açıklayabilmek için mekânsal ve sosyopsikolojik boyutlara ilişkin çalışmaların artması gerektiği tespit edilmiştir.
