요약An increasing percentage of Africa's urban population lives in small towns. Despite their growing importance, there is very little empirical evidence for how political behavior in these small urban agglomerations compares to political behavior in large cities.To assess how political behavior varies with settlement size, in Chapter 1 of this dissertation I combine geo-referenced public opinion data from the Afrobarometer with new data on the populations and spatial extent of all urban agglomerations on the continent. I show that, overall, residents of small urban agglomerations are more similar in their political behavior to residents of rural areas than they are to residents of the region's largest cities.In Chapter 2, I assess the evidence for a contextual effectof residential location on voter behavior: does the place where an individual lives shape their electoral preferences? To answer this question, I draw on an original, uniquely rich sample of Ugandans from the same ethnic group and rural origins. Using a conjoint experiment that varies candidate attributes in a hypothetical parliamentary election and observational results that control for a comprehensive set of pre-move covariates, I show there is limited evidence for differences in voter preferences across settlements of different sizes. Coethnicity with a political candidate is a powerful determinant of vote choice in all residential settings.In Chapter 3, , I use the same Ugandan sample to understand how residential location shapes perspectives towards interethnic tolerance. I show, using both a conjoint experiment and observational measures, that rural-to-urban migrants who moved to different sizes of urban locations hold distinct attitudes regarding interethnic relations. Compared to smaller urban centers, coethnicity is more important for trust-based interactions in metropolis and secondary city settings. Similarly, prejudice towards non-coethnics is highest in the metropolis and lowest in smaller urban areas. I find support for three mechanisms underpinning this relationship: (1) smaller urban areas engender familiarity over time between neighbors which allows for the fostering of more tolerant relations; (2) competition for jobs and housing in large cities is framed by ethnicity, which yields antagonistic social relations; and (3) the circular nature of migration intentions into the largest cities discourages investment in amicable relations with non-coethnics. These findings have implications for our understanding of how the current wave of urbanization in Africa - which is concentrated in smaller urban areas - influences social cohesion in highly diverse contexts.
