In this article, we study the relationship between diseases, human mobility, and the perception of authoritarian tendencies of governments. The thesis that we support is that a social system that is experiencing or has recently experienced infectious diseases decreases the mobility of the humans that belong to it. This, in turn, contributes to the...
Human migration, and urbanization as its direct consequence, are among the crucial topics in regional and national governance. People?s migration and mobility flows make a network structure, with large cities acting as hubs, and smaller settlements as spokes. The essential method by which these phenomena can be analysed comprehensively is network a...
Migration, and urbanization as its consequence, is among the most intricate political and scientific topics, predicted to have huge effects on human lives in the near future. Thus being said, previous works have mainly focused on international migration, and the research on internal migration outside of the US is scarce, and in the case of Europe—t...
