Are these responses driven by nationalism & population issues (see Fig. 2.21; page 47 of your textbook) or proximity of countries to the refugees’ country of origin (remember Tobler’s law)? Briefly explain (250 words min.)

a. Define Tobler’s law.
b. Is the difference in approach to Ukrainians fleeing war vs Others ( Asians, Africans & Middle Eastern nationals also fleeing war) attributable to Tobler’s Law or something else? Briefly explain (250 words min)
