Martin Okolikj is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Special Education, University of Oslo. His research focuses on political science topics including economic voting, political efficacy, mental health influences on political behavior, and comparative electoral systems. His work spans cross-national analyses of Western democracies, European political systems, and global electoral behavior patterns.
Key research interests include the intersection of economic conditions with voter behavior, partisan identity dynamics, and the role of mental health trajectories in shaping democratic participation. Recent studies explore longitudinal links between adolescent mental health and later civic engagement, as well as how economic perceptions influence party identification and trust in political institutions across Europe.
Okolikj has published widely in top journals such as Political Psychology, International Political Science Review, and Comparative European Politics. His 2023 encyclopedia entry on 'Economic Voting' offers foundational theoretical insights. He collaborates internationally with scholars like Lisa-Christine Girard, Marc Hooghe, and Stephen Quinlan on projects analyzing voter decision-making mechanisms.
No awards or grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts, though his prolific publishing record indicates sustained academic activity. Current work continues to bridge political economy analysis with psychological and demographic factors influencing democratic processes.
