Social scientists have long acknowledged the role that institutions play to influence the management of common-pool resources and public goods in local communities; and a lot of effort has gone into the task of specifying why some communities are better at self-organizing to engage in collective action for institution creation and sustenance. However, the relationships between migration, ethnic diversity, and collective action for common-pool resources and public goods management are not well understood. To examine these relationships, this dissertation relies on data that I collected during my fieldwork on Buvuma Island, which is located in Uganda's portion of Lake Victoria. Buvuma Island includes 56 communities representing at least 31 distinct ethnic groups, and where communities have experienced various levels of migration influx. Chapter 1 focuses on forestry management to examine the potential for common-pool resource institutions among migrant communities. The findings suggest that migrant communities are less likely to support forestry institutions than non-migrant communities. The same findings also suggest that the lower likelihood of support from migrant communities has more to do with weaker community relationships - of reputation, reciprocity, and trust - than expectations about the net benefits from forestry institutions. Chapter 2 focuses on two aspects of collective action for common property management among communities whose levels of ethnic diversity and rates of immigration vary, the voluntary contributions to sanitation management through involvement in toilet construction and the voluntary compliance with rules for managing forest reserves. The chapter examines whether immigration can explain why ethnic diversity within communities is negatively associated with collective action. I find that communities with lower rates of immigration are more supportive of common property management, irrespective of their levels of ethnic diversity. Chapter 3 focuses on two aspects of collective action for public goods provisioning among communities whose levels of ethnic diversity and rates of immigration vary, the voluntary contributions to toilet construction and the voluntary participation in litter pickup programs. This chapter considers whether the effect of immigration on public good provisioning trumps that of ethnic diversity; and, whether, when considering distinct public goods whose provisioning involves substantially different costs, there is a significant difference in the effects of ethnic diversity and immigration on the institutional processes. The findings largely corroborate those of chapter 2, suggesting that social, cultural, and political impediments to collective action for public goods provisioning may have less to do with the stock of demographic diversity than the flow rate of demographic change. The findings also suggest a more micro-level explanation that helps to explain the impact of migration and ethnic diversity on social trust, that is, the moderating influence of transaction costs.
