Navigating Time and Space in Population Studies presents innovative
approaches to long-standing questions about the diffusion of
population and demographic behavior across space and over time.
This collection utilizes newly-available historical data along with
spatially and temporally explicit analytical methods to evaluate
and refine core demographic theories and to pose new questions
about mortality and fertility transitions, migration, urbanization,
and social inequality. It adds a spatial dimension to the analysis
of temporal processes and a temporal element to spatial processes.
Chapters cover a broad range of geographical settings, including
the United States, Europe, Latin America, and the Islamic world,
and span time periods from the eighteenth to twentieth century.
Contributors from a variety of disciplines reveal the complexity of
factors involved in population processes that spread across space
and unfold over time, and demonstrate a rich set of tools with
which to explore, analyze, and test the spatial and temporal
dynamics of these phenomena. The theories, methods, and substantive
findings presented here provide new lenses through which to view
time and space in population studies, offering useful models and
valuable insights to demographers and other social scientists
exploring both historical and contemporary questions about
population dynamics anywhere in the world.
