Replication Data for: The Political Legacies of Exile: How Inclusive Reception Policies Shape Refugee Protest Engagement Upon Returnhttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/IPVZFQLechartre, JosephineHarvard Dataverse2026-04-072026-04-07T21:29:32ZHow do refugee experiences in receiving countries shape their political behavior after return? I argue that inclusive hosting in exile has the potential to increase refugee engagement in protest upon return home. I confirm this expectation through an original survey of Guatemalan refugees that were exogenously assigned to settlements with inclusive and non-inclusive policies in Mexico in the 1980s. The dataset reports results from an original household survey of 423 former Guatemalan refugees. I find that inclusive hosting increased refugee post-return participation in nonviolent protest by 25 percentage points compared to refugees who did not experience inclusive hosting in exile.Social Sciencesrefugeesmigrationconflictpolitical behaviorLechartre, Joséphine (2026), The Political Legacies of Exile: How Inclusive Reception Policies Shape Refugee Protest Engagement Upon Return, Comparative Political Studies (0)0, doi2026-04-07Lechartre, Josephine2026-04-04CC0 1.0
