- Abstract
- The purpose of this essay was to find an understanding of what factors which
affect refugee reception in two municipalities in the southern part of Sweden, the
municipality of Vellinge and the municipality of Landskrona. Three interviews
were made with three local politicians and these interviews were then analysed
using postcolonial theory. With the help of Matthew J. Gibney we identified seven
factors which aided us in the analysis these were: Integration history, Ethnic

housing market, The labour market and The action of other municipalities.
We found that these factors were all useful in creating an understanding of
refugee reception in the two municipalities. However they affected the
municipalities differently. The municipality of Vellinge claimed that economic
factors were the most important when deciding not to receive any refugees.
Nevertheless we found that factors like ethnic affinity and integration history
played an important part in the decision making as well. In the municipality of
Landskrona we found that refugee reception to a large extent was independent of
politic decisions and was instead something that continued without involvement
from the ruling in the municipality. Refugee reception in Landskrona can instead
be understood as dependent on the traditions in the municipality, on its ethnic
affinity and on its housing market. (Less)
