Borja Martinović

Borja Martinović is a researcher in the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Martinović works on intergroup relations, with particular attention to collective psychological ownership and territorial ownership perceptions as they bear on immigration attitudes, reconciliation, and intergroup conflict. Much of this work examines how majority group members and immigrants understand ownership over national territory and knowledge, and how those perceptions shape responses to outgroups, separatist movements, and transitional justice processes. Recent publications also address welfare chauvinism, support for collective action, and the conditions under which group apologies contribute to reconciliation.
