"This article examines whether (and why) migrant communities are less likely to support
institutions for managing common pool resources. Focusing on Buvuma Island, which
is situated in Uganda’s portion of Lake Victoria, I study the efforts at locally supporting
forestry regulations among randomly selected communities. These communities have
varying proportions of both immigrants and prospective out-migrants, and they are
confronting the degradation of adjacent forest reserves. The evidence from survey data
on 293 randomly selected heads of households suggests that migrant communities are
less likely to support common pool resource institutions. The same evidence suggests
that the lower likelihood of support among migrant communities has more to do with
their weaker relationships (of reputation, trust, and reciprocity) than their expectations
about the institutional net-benefits." |
