ABSTRACT
Introduction The more "globalized" the world becomes, the more attention is focused on the phenomenon of "human mobility". It is beginning to be widely realized by researchers (both historians and political scientists) that the transmission of political experiences and political ideas, which inevitably accompanies the movement of people, plays quite a significant role in bringing about political change in different areas of the world. Another significance of human mobility in the context of politics is that the movement of people often tends to de-stabilize the existing system of self-identities, contributes to the emergence of a new identity, and consequently sometimes leads to a quite unexpected breakthrough in the political situation.
