She continues to study the linkages between terrorist groups and political parties and the impacts of these linkages on electoral outcomes. She recently finished compiling a co-edited volume entitled “Violence, Elections, and Party Politics.” Professor Martin is also engaged in collaborative multidisciplinary research into the endogenous formation of terrorist groups and reactions to counterterrorism tactics.
