A Sociophysical Approach To Relationship Between Politics and Economy: The Lagrange Model of The Crowds

Abstract

Individuals can be thought of asphysical elements within the social system. When they are considered as thedecision factors of society, in addition to showing differences as individuals,they can lose their individuality by displaying each other's characteristicsunder community behavior (if the nucleus of an atom were an individual, theelectrons that revolve around it would be other individuals and society).Individuals that are called factors or agents that shape collective behaviorand constitute the core of society also play a role in determining themechanism of the political system in a country. Inthis study, it was discussed whether the Lagrangian Approach, which maintainsits place in the literature with its application to many areas, can be successfulin modeling political developments and political decisions of communities. Itwas assumed that in political systems there is stability at the level wheremutual satisfaction is maximum, the concept of social entropy and atomizationand order and disorder between groups or individuals were modeled on the axisof political science and sociophysics, and it was observed that the basicmacroeconomic variables (unemployment, income distribution, inflation, percapita income, gini coefficient, welfare, etc.) are influential in socialentropy and atomization diffusion.
