This is the first causal study from a developing country hosting the largest protracted refugee population.
It speaks to broader Global South challenges—where refugee numbers are high, but resources and capacities are limited.

Policy implications?
➤ Job creation for low-income host communities
➤ Targeted interventions to reduce resentment and misinformation
These are vital for sustainable integration and social cohesion.

Contrary to the "contact hypothesis", more frequent contact with refugees does not reduce hostility.
Instead, consistent with the "integration paradox", closer contact amplifies cultural tensions in urban areas.

Interestingly, religiosity mitigates some negative attitudes. But even respondents who view Syrians as "religious brothers" support exclusionary policies like encampment.
This points to a complex interaction of identity, empathy, and exposure.

Economic concerns (especially perceived competition in informal labour markets and overburdened public services) are strong drivers of negative attitudes.
Cultural alienation and feelings of insecurity further exacerbate these sentiments.

I find that exposure to refugees significantly increases antirefugee sentiments—especially around exclusion, insecurity, and economic burden.
But notably, helping behaviour remains high even among the most exposed communities.

Despite hosting over 3 million Syrian refugees, causal evidence on how refugee exposure affects local attitudes in Türkiye—and in the Global South more broadly—remains scarce. My study fills this gap using an IV strategy and a rich survey data.
