为什么人们会放弃自己的家园，去别处过一种不确定的生活？简单的回答当然是暴力。更具体地说，作者认为，人们监控政府和持不同政见者的暴力行为，并评估这种行为对他们的生命、人身和自由构成的威胁。政府和持不同政见者的行为构成的威胁越大，一个国家被迫移民的数量就会越大。为了验证从这一论点中得出的假设，作者使用了40多年来的全球各国样本。他们的研究结果被认为与他们的论点一致，表明暴力行为对被迫移民的影响要比政治制度类型或平均经济规模等变量大得多。
Why would people abandon their homes in favor of an uncertain life elsewhere? The short answer, of course, is violence. More specifically, the authors contend that people monitor the violent behavior of both the government and dissidents and assess the threat such behavior poses to their lives, physical person, and liberty. The greater the threat posed by the behavior of the government and dissidents, the larger the number of forced migrants a country will produce. To test hypotheses drawn from this argument the authors use a global sample of countries over more than forty years. Their findings are held to be consistent with their argument, showing that violent behavior has a substantially larger impact on forced migration than variables such as the type of political institution or the average size of the economy.
