Borja Martinović

Borja Martinović is a researcher at the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University in The Netherlands. Martinović's research focuses on collective psychological ownership, territorial ownership perceptions, and intergroup relations, with particular emphasis on immigration attitudes, national identity, and conflict reconciliation. Martinović has published extensively on topics including welfare chauvinism, double standards in migration attitudes, group apologies in transitional justice contexts, and the role of autochthony beliefs in shaping attitudes toward immigrants and Indigenous peoples. Martinović's work examines how perceptions of collective ownership and territorial belonging influence social cohesion, support for political solutions in conflict regions, and majority group responses to demographic change and minority populations.
